‘LABURNAM WALK’ is an acrylic and dye painting on unprimed canvas. It is 135x75cms in size, unframed and stretched over a wooden frame with steel corner braces. ‘Laburnam Walk’ is part of a series of paintings inspired by a familiar location and in keeping with similar paintings made at this time, focuses on memory and imagination. The location is Hesketh Park, Southport, U.K. I walk in this park every day. The compositional arrangement makes reference to the park landscape, the lake, the foliage and the flowers. I do not find myself designing the canvas and I don’t underpin the composition with a prescriptive ‘drawing’. The composition materialises under my brush when I start to saturate the canvas surface with dyes of varying colours. This painting, like many others of this period, is concerned with the related dynamics of areas of colour separated by distinct divisions. There are still areas of atmospheric and expressive colour which invite the eye into ‘frames’ or ‘windows’ within the overall architecture of the painting. There are clear reference points to Fauvism, (Henri Matisse, Maurice de Vlaminck, André Derain and Raoul Dufy) abstract expressionism, the semi-abstraction of Howard Hodgkin and the pure abstractions of John Hoyland.
