New paintings

 
I have primarily worked with black ink and muted colours in the past but through these new works i have experimented with a mix of vibrant colours and pattern. This new work has been heavily influenced by my recent discovery of the German expressionist movement, Bruke, and a new appreciation of the work of Matisse. Along with the influence Picasso's early work has always had on my artwork these have combined to steer my painting in this new expressive and colourful direction.
