Lost in a Dark Wood

Lost in a Dark Wood

About this work

 This image reminded me of John Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress', hence the title.

Recently I got lost in a strange wood with a dog. I thought the dog would lead me home. No chance! The dog was just as lost as I was.

I spent all afternoon painting on the beach. Just as it was getting cold and I was thinking of packing up, I did this painting in a hurry. It is the best of the lot!

She is so quiet and  unassuming, but she rules the roost over two large dogs. Here she looks so compact and self contained.

Walking the dog in the fading light. A bit cold a bit spooky. Looking forward to getting in the warm.

About this work

I adapted an image I saw in a newspaper. It made me think of people rushing to an fro in the underground, you can never be sure who is with whom, and what, if anything, is going on between them.

I decided I don't want to produce pretty pictures. I also realise I am not a pretty picture. I put the two ideas together.
