seeing the wood for the trees
untitled. oil on canvas. 100x100 cms my wife tells me that if I walk amongst trees and photograph trees and think about trees then it should not be a surprise to paint them. It is however only the start: I have tried to paint them out over these last months but they only seem to assert their presence more. I have mentioned my interest in Altdorfer, the way that his painting of the forest dominates the action. Here I was hoping that I could make the paint be the action and to function like a curtain that with exposure, would reveal itself.
