What a joyful Kick-About prompt this was (and a welcome palate cleanser after the severed heads of more recent days). Textile artist Louise Baldwin’s work gave me permission to draw quickly and instinctively, and embrace colour and abstraction, to produce a whole series of exuberant large-scale compositions. I just sat down and drew a few impressions of some of our many houseplants – in this instance, a Pilea peperomioides – and then used them to produce some big bold abstracts.
In truth, I could have gone on and on with this, wishing I had the resources to produce them as massive prints for the soft white walls of some airy penthouse atelier. There is such pleasure to be found in colour, and the rush and whirl of a few bold lines.





POW – such punchy colour and direct line-work!

Yes indeed, it was great fun – but not as much fun as you’ve been having! 🙂

‘There is such pleasure to be found in colour, and the rush and whirl of a few bold lines.’ You are not wrong! Wonderful stuff, Phil.
