Its probably not the oddest title I've given a painting but probably close. After a lot of winter painting I cleaned the palette with a small brush, using the excess paint to make a few abstracts. I call these palette cleansers. Using different colours and making shapes is also a different experience compared to painting on location. On location, I try to represent the scene, while the abstracts are pure imagination. The idea was to create a maze-like tapestry, like a map of brain cells or axons. I liked the sound of 'warm axons', the way the two words blurr together.
