Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

In these three paintings I capture, recognise and celebrate the ordinary moments.

'Roll-in' considers a scenario which is at once static and moving, poignant and emotive. Emboldened by the challenge, she quietly waits her turn to join the track.

'Pool at Dusk' The pool is off-limits from dusk until dawn. The water, still and calm, allows the lights to settle and reflect. They illuminate the surrounding foliage and create a tranquil moment on a warm summer evening.

'Saturday' An everyday moment caught in the mirror periodically, over the years. I notice time passing with every frame. It catches me by surprise.
