Through out my years creating art, I have always been incredibly detail orientated. I found comfort in the precision and care for each brush stroke. Over time however I realised just how draining this method can be. During my time at the end of university, I started experimenting with abstract art with each brush stroke becoming random and care free. I used the shapes and colours I could see as inspiration whilst layering different types of paint to create a more textured surface. 
Although I love creating realistic pieces which challenge myself, it is equally rewarding to paint an abstract piece which allows more freedom to be experimental. This piece is called 'Another day' and is based on a vision of Batheaston as seen from the side of the river which I would frequent during my lunch breaks at Gather Cafe. It is a scene I looked at almost every day for over a year and became so embedded in mind- I decided to get it down on canvas and loved how art turned out.
