Tree, Carnac, October 2106

In September, I made a lot of drawings of the Neolithic stone (menhir) alignments and surrounding landscape at Carnac in Brittany. I had plans of returning home and making a series of paintings relating explicitly to the drawings, but so far their influence on recent oil paintings has been indirect, affecting forms, lines, and textures. But I have done a number of watercolour and gouache paintings closely based on the drawings and this is one example in which the forms provide a framework for a free exploration of colour.

Just over a year later, I really dislike this painting.
