I changed my mind

Life's experiences often change the way we see our world.

A recent upheaval in my life,
the slow, painful death by cancer of my only brother,
has certainly changed the way I see the world.

This new view affects all areas of my life and, naturally, my art.

My new Art Philosophy is simple: Life is short. Too short for brown. (sorry, brown)

The painting below is one of my favourite subjects which I revisited in an oil sketch to illustrate my new philosophy.


I imagine that each holds appeal to someone.

The important aspect is that

the art changed because the artist changed.
