I love automatic painting and drawing, supressing conscious control over the mark making and seeing what happens. It was a process some of the Dadaists and Surrealists (to express the subconscious) used to create some of their artwork (Wikipedia, 2022).

I wanted to create a triptych and after measuring the inner parts in my window mount and masking off borders on some acrylic paper I was off. Lots of mixing colours, applying and then scratching in until I ended up with this…

I was really pleased. The best part was taking the masking tape off and seeing how each painting looked…

I then mounted and framed them…

These paintings are looking for a new home and are for sale on eBay
