I had so many possible names for this piece: The Face of Art, My Blood Boils, Angry Art but in the end settled on The State of Art. It's one of my second daughter's favourites. The great thing about this abstract painting and many others, is that it must be interpreted by the viewer. The longer you look, the more you see. It is almost a subconscious work which allows perhaps for qualities and characteristics that are not seen in my other work. Whatever you want to see in this painting, I will say that the running liquid represents a tear. For me that tear could be for all the years that I did not paint a single thing.

I am an English Artist living in Borlange, Sweden since 2005. I have been painting on and off since the early eighties, in oils to begin with before moving on to watercolours. I also have an interest in photography which I have often used as part of my preliminary work for my paintings.

The reason that I paint or take...

I see this as the "calm side of frustration"... that point where you finally calm down and come to terms (whether you like it or not) with whatever had you frustrated. I love it!!
