I have been painting for many years and I work in various styles. My abstract works come from feelings, words, music. A riot of colour or a subdued undertone of emotions. Action painting of the New York school figures heavily in a lot of the works but in my own style without so much emphasis on the "action" More a dynamic type of painting that involves the deliberate application of considered sweeping brushstrokes and the accidental effects that occur from the gradual build up of dripping and pouring paint onto the canvas. I have named these abstract imaginings.
