final pieces

Here i attempted to create abstract images on a larger scale, this piece is around 75cm in width. However I am very unhappy, as I feel it looks much too graphic. Also I did not use a larger brush - I find when working smaller it is easier for just one small brush mark to have an impact, whereas on a larger scale you have to work to create such spontaneity. For this reason I will probably work on a series of smaller paintings in series. I have done 9, also photographed below.

And my 9 pieces. I need to choose my favourite, or display them 3 by 3. For me, this project largely became about the process, and so these 9 have helped develop my process, each one bringing something new.

some sketchbook studies
