Potato Beach

In the last month or so I painted less than usual. To get things going again I am doing a series of smaller doodleism paintings they are about 5 x 7 or 7 x 7 inch. This one captures the colour of Monet and the whimsical sense of Dali. Inside the potato there is a window and a lamp, perhaps this is some kind of beach house?

Recently I have gone through drawings and art from the past 35 years, it was all kept in storage thanks to my Mother and her desire to keep things! Approaching a milestone birthday, I had an idea to paint some retrospective works based on artwork done from the past chapters of my life. There is one drawing from 1983 called "...Un Bateau Rouge' with a great colour sense, and I think that will be the first one in the series. We'll see how it goes... usually 'planning' and 'artwork' are two separate things.
