A quirky illustration painted using ink and a twig, to give it an overall vibrant scratchy look which is characteristic of my work. Submitted to the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition 2007. This remained as part of the artist's collection until now.

What I love about painting is discovering it's all in the moment, as life is. Responding to materials at hand. Responding to how the paints interact. Mark-making and using found objects. Even though we have a great art studio, I find myself painting in the kitchen, as I have done for many years now. So here I find that I have no heat gun to melt the embossing powder, so the canvas goes in the oven to bake a bit. Perfect alternative!
It was surprising as the pear emerged and the magenta ink mingled with the emulsion that it made marks which resembled, almost identical, to the tissue experiment I did in the science lab over ten years ago. How very interesting. So here are two images from the research I carried out investigating water channels in bovine cartilage.
