Young concerns






Started the first of the 'personal statement' paintings for Sally's class. am concentrating on my concerns for my teenage and young twenties grandchildren. Hence the teenage drinking. Plan is to explore lack of organisation, eg. bedrooms, and consumerism. Am finding the painting of the drinkers very tedious. all those fiddly little figures! Just when I had fallen in love with the grand sweeping brush stroke. I will grit my teeth and keep going 'cause it seems to be saying what I want it to.



I've titled this 'My Cup Runneth Over'.


This is 'To Lie Down in Green Pastures', a comment on disorganisation and lack of focus.

Eventually this will be 'I Shall Not Want' a comment on indiscriminate consumerism.
