I’m working on a larger piece today. It’s not finished yet but, as I often do, I used up the leftover paint making something spontaneous in my sketchbook.
I love the energy of it.
It’s very diluted acrylic paint/ink, applied with a wallpaper scraper.

I’ve been challenging myself to deepen my understanding of ink-based abstracts during the quiet time of Christmas/New Year.
I did this one a few days ago and was not convinced by it - but it’s grown on me
It’s ink with chalk pastels.

Happy New Year, all! A bit late to the trend, but here is my art vs artist recap for 2025. I was on and off my art through the year, but towards the end, I really started to speed up my workflow and create some stuff I am really proud of!

Yesterday I reorganised my space in The Courthouse Bushmills because my friend Yvonne Moore has decided to focus on sharing her wonderful work in other places.
It was a good chance to consider how I present my work

I spent today rearranging my studio in The Courthouse Bushmills (more on that tomorrow).
Towards the end of the day I framed and hung this.
It’s A2 size (42cm x 60cm) - ink on paper.
It’s available. Contact me for details.

I’m still experimenting creating abstracts with ink. What else is the downtime of Christmas/New Year for if not to refresh, refocus, revive?
So I’m playing.
I made this yesterday, listening to Simeon ten Holt’s ‘Canto Ostinato’.

It’s our 28th anniversary.
On this day in 1997 Adrian+Shane met for the very first time. This photo strip was taken in a photobooth in Glasgow just a few weeks after we met.

Between what I can do and what I can imagine is a wide and raging sea.
I try to swim across, but almost drown, landing back, battered and exhausted, on the shore I started from.
Still, each day, I try to reach my visions.

In the quietness of Christmas Day I experimented. This is an abstract in acrylic ink. A2 Paper (42cm x 60cm) - and a little away from my usual ‘calm’ approach.
This one, I like. There’s a wildness in it.
