A new painting experiment inspired by a Japanese colour reference book, creative limitations, and a growing interest in developing palettes rooted in place and season.

We tend to think of spring arriving in green, but when you look closely, it begins in gold. A reflection on blackthorn blossom, shifting light, and the first signs of the season.

A new series of spring paintings exploring meadow edges, hedgerows and the quiet presence of the wild - shaped by observation, memory and the unfolding season.
