Songs of my Soul

These paintings began as an autistic obsession of shapes and textures i found on different trees in the woodlands near Masham , North Yorkshire which i would photograph and then print on an Instax Printer to insert into journals. At the beginning of 2025 i found myself in my deceased Dads empty house with just a bed , a lounge and dining chair and foldable table so i spent hours in solitude sitting and drawing with a pencil in a sketchbook abstracted forms of some of these images. When i moved to Kielder Forest and set my studio up i wanted to expand on my Watercolour Poems so i began a process of moving these images from abstracted into expressive and intuitive.

As watercolour is mutable , unpredictable , raw , emphemeral and ethereal in nature and also permanent making them uneditable aligned for what i wanted with these images , human , imperfect , soulful and real : this oriented to my spiritual path.

Some are now for sale and at this moment i am wandering the woodlands seeking more to process and will be back creating more in 2027.
