Two Random Landscapes

I wasn’t very good at painting and not that committed to improving.  I would have a quick burst of painting, then do nothing for three or four years.  Then have another go and be disappointed again.

But sometime in there (somewhere in 2005-10?) I came up with these two landscapes, which I liked.  What I really liked was the colour and the granulation.  And the colour and granulation is all there really is to these paintings.  There’s no foreground to distract you from them.  I was a bit afraid of painting foregrounds.
