From Far And Near

I love the shapes and limited colours, though Ireland seems to have gone a bit glacial! But lovely!

Martina, I also like the shapes and limited colours in this one.

That spike seems to occur in many of your pieces Martina. Why? I do like it in there however against the other shapes and marks.

Thanks for your comments Jane and Derek. With regards to the spike shape Derek I always use rectangular shapes in my more abstract paintings and I am trying to find a way to combine my landscapes and abstract work. I changed the rectangular shape slightly in the hope that it would fit in better with the landscape. I also like the way that it is not obvious what the shape is, it could represent a person, a tree or even a weapon. Thanks for your interest in my work.

Martina, I love the texture and the semi-abstract style that you have exercised and I also like the way that the grain of the canvas bubbles through the paint on the sky. Excellent! Keep up the great work.

Thanks Nick, your comment is much appreciated
