Watercolours made in Polyrizos, Crete, during a Taoist QiGong training & retreat I undertook in May 2019. These works were the last coherent group of paintings made before an awareness of COVID-19 and the subsequent pandemic, before the shutters descended. These survived as a self-contained group of 17 works ( of which 12 are included here). There is not necessarily an apparent link between the paintings and the Eastern studies I have pursued, but that world of learning has been part of my practice for nearly as long as I have painted.
In these watercolours, there is an energetic thread that drives the subject matter. Despite the focus on the sea, I was absorbed by the strong METAL element thrown up in the rock formations by the earthquakes & volcanic activity characterising the evolution of that region of the Cretan coastline. I make no great claims for these works, but they have infiltrated other studio work in significant ways. They are talismans of openness, and when I look at them again, I feel good. More information about the context for these works can be found in my December newsletter, which can be found at the link below.
