Continuing on with my goal of making regular alla prima paintings, I wanted to think about colour and tone in the window setting and evoke spring in what I looked at. Today has been dreary and I think that's what made me reach for the pink and orange. I'll have to come back to this. I applied some of the paint with a palette knife and some of the hottest colours in the brightest places need a little care and zing that will only be possible once things have dried a bit.

I'm a painter printmaker. I use egg tempera to paint portraits and still lifes; pastel for still lifes, landscape and interiors, monotype for life drawings, portraits, interiors and landscapes and fused, stitched plastic to play with colour, shape and light. I was NEAC drawing scholar and exhibit regularly in Suffolk and London. I am also a practicing mail artist.
