Messing about

Do you know, I don't think it's rubbish at all. There is no hint of just puttings things in willy-nilly, to use a very technical. Strong composition. I really like it!

Very effective and striking, Derek - I wish I had the courage to be more experimental!

Cheers Jan, Michael, Carole and Juris!! I appreciate that, but I think everyone's being too kind.

If that's just "messing" Derek I'd like to see when you're not. It's colourful and lively.

Thank you Ellen, I really had no thought with what I was doing, just trying mixed media and opening ideas.

40 x 30cms. Messing about using spare time before the football starts on telly and trying to work in Juris's style leaving white areas, seeing how paint covers lines – or doesn't. On a smooth acrylic paper, using brush pen, then credit cards, ink blotches, ink lines run, various markers held at end to avoid neatness. Load of rubbish really but I like to try stuff.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
