Still Life with a Yukka and an Alpacka - Acrylic Paint on Canvas - 12x16 Inch

I want to create a body of work that is centred on shape, colour and abstraction by looking at the contrast between organic forms in nature and man-made objects of everyday life. Here are two of my recent paintings based on this concept. I have been trying to figure out a style of painting that works for me so you could say these are experiments and so far I have learned a lot. I now know I really enjoy collaging with painted papers, using masking tape to stencil off areas and painting with thick brushes to form gestural marks. This is really useful as I now have a clearer understanding of how I want to work, it means I can get down to business and create more work without worrying how I'm going to do it.
