Longing and Sweet Sadness

This body of work has the theme of 'Longing and Sweet Sadness'. The focus began in 2021 but really galvanised and gathered momentum after the death of my father at the end of 2022. I drew and painted in the woods at the back of my parents house. This is where I played as a child, making camps and exploring. It is where I made huge paintings for my degree show after the hurricane of 1987, when I was in my early twenties. It is the place where my children played, camped and went on bluebell walks every year when they were small. It is where I walk now when I visit my mother.
