Miles Ahead

You're really developing a distinctive style, Derek. Vibrant, lively and full of dynamism.

Interesting piece Derek. It comes to mind you would make a good art teacher.

Thanks Seok and John. Mind saying whyplease?

Always interesting vibrant and full of passion Derek

Full of passion that's a good start, so you would be an inspiration, which is vital in art teaching. You experiment, are diverse, and you would encourage an open approach to making art.

I like it very much and it also gets me thinking.

Love the effect.

Thanks dennis, John, Michael and Jenny. I see John, not sure about all that, best locked up on my own I think.

Great painting and very evocative. I listened to Miles Davis as I painted today. Mine is still a work in progress.

Thanks Gudrun. Bought this long player when it was new, about late 50s I think

Do you mean you used cards for the whole painting Derek? Like John I have thought you would make a good teacher - I find you make some very good suggestions for improving some paintings. I wish you had been my teacher at school.

Nice work derek. Keep them coming

Thanks Adele, yes is the answer although in my next one as it's a biggy for me a roller may come into play. Cheers Paul

I enjoy seeing less than perfect, experimental stuff more than neat and tidy and all the i's dotted. I go straight for the sketchbooks if they're on display in a painting exhibition. Interesting and original, Derek.

Thanks Caroline, me too

Great sense of mark making, very impressive Derek. An absolute gem.

Thanks Andre
