VIDA
I began painting Vida in the summer but the light in my studio wasn’t so great due to the rain which seemed endless. Hence there was a lot of stopping and starting with this piece.
Like most of my paintings I had no clear idea in what direction this painting was taking (I didn’t even have a working title). I let thoughts dictate, but nothing good was coming my way so I decided to take the canvas down and try to start on another piece. A couple of days later, two things happened: firstly, I spied a kingfisher in my garden. It was all but brief, but it made me smile on what was fast becoming the worse summer on record. The second was a correspondence from a little girl who had just bought the very last print of ‘Alvi’ and her excitement was so evident in her little note of thanks she sent to me.
