Right: The work on the right of this page is the result of another "blank" period which, for once, I was (latterly) glad to experience. I had painted myself to a standstill for an exhibition and was sitting there twiddling my thumbs, waiting for inspiration to strike...and it didn't!  So, in a fit of pique, I picked up the knife and daubed the residue of a palette onto a reject canvas. The end product of that tantrum can be found elsewhere on this site.  Whatever it is - and it could be anything! - I really, but really, enjoyed doing it (it was an epiphany of sorts)  The other canvasses followed in its wake!  What other eyes will think of this work is a different matter.
