One of my favourite paintings: Molten Sunset
I really enjoyed painting this small canvas (40 × 40 cm). It seemed to flow effortlessly with my favourite music playing, using a single brush that I kept moving around the surface, rarely lifting it or pausing to wash it. The continuous, intuitive approach gives the work a pleasing abstract impressionist quality that I find very satisfying.
Small paintings on paper, so spontaneous and free.
