Waves.
Oil on canvas 46 x 61 cm

I made a template, a piece of card with waves cut into the top, and used it to draw a line of waves. Then moved the card down a bit and along a bit, so the crests of the lower line just intersected with the troughs of the line above. And so on. From identical, regular waves a more complex pattern emerges.

A Synethesthesic's Callendar.
Oil on canvas 46 x 61 cm

We are all at least a little bit synethesic, we know what the red and blue spots on taps mean, we agree that reds are 'warm' and blues are 'cool'. Can you visualise the year's callendar in your mind's eye? If so, do the seasons progress around a circle? For me they do, in an anti-clockwise direction. So in the painting winter is on the left, with a bias towards cool colours, spring at the bottom, summer to the right and autumn above.

Spots Hallucinated.
Oil on canvas board 13 x 18 cm

Relax.
Close your eyes.
What do you see?

Probably nothing.

But just occasionally, with some people, their brain does a little hallucinating. It might be an unexpected landscape, or bowl of fruit, created from no obvious recent experience.
Or perhaps some abstract pattern.
