Hectic Days / circa 1976
Image Title: Hectic Days / circa 1976
Description: Pastel & Acrylic on Cotton // 141cm x 181cm. By 1975, one year after leaving art school, I had established a regime of working for pay as a postman in North London while travelling into the East End to my studio to paint in the afternoon. Matthew my eldest son was 4, Gavin was born in the June of this year. Since late '74, I had been experimenting by drawing in transparent form, denying any solidity of the form and moving in and out of abstraction. Though this work was painted in 1976, in 78 I got it into the Whitechapel Open and the John Moores in Liverpool. Both occassions gave me much heart.
