I loved the reserve at Glenborrodale, so not having enough confidence to try a big painting, to try and capture the feel of the place, I taped and gridded a sheet of paper to do one big splishy-sploshy painting, so that I could remove the grid to make small abstracts. Maybe one of them would lead me somewhere!..as I write this I am thinking a tapestry weaving...
Unfortunately, as I was doing this in the evening and under a flourescent light, it didn't turn out as green as it might. But a useful exercise that I then repeated when I got home. Next step is to do a large scale painting ...what could possibly go wrong!

| The photo I very loosely used for inspiration. |

| The full piece .. and a few of the individual 'sqares'. |

And the photo I am planning to use for my painting....same style - splishy-sploshy but a bit more defined in subject.
