Abstract Letters

Here is the last abstract from my recent pile of scans, after this I am foing to show some early works, and blog about some of the old travel collections. In my laboratory notes I had developed this doodle style using abstract shapes to recreate the letters of the alphabet. There is no rhyme nor reason to it, just freestyle. You may be able to guess what this one says, I will put the answer at the end of the blog. 2.5 x 7.5" hot press, watercolour, 2018

 

On the back, I did a surrealism painting, it uses some Van Gogh motifs like the cypress trees and golden field. I call this one 'Toenail Lea'. A lea is a field, its a word I learned from doing crossword puzzles. This size of paper was not deliberate, I had cut out larger sized pieces from a 22 x 30" paper, and used the leftover cuttings for experimental paintings. 2.5 x 7.5" hot press, watercolour, 2018

 By the way, the first painting says 'Peter', and I called the painting 'Abstract Peter'
