We’re home from our 6 months in India and I’ve just posted my new work on the 2014-15 Portfolio page. It’s such a different world there and the excitement about everything we were seeing compelled me to move away from abstracts and delve back into figurative work. We spent 3 months in the mountain town of Kodaikanal, where I set up an outdoor studio. Once we left there I had to travel lighter, so I left my acrylics and canvases behind and went back to watercolours. I took a contemporary approach this time, flattening and simplifying the images with outlines and solid areas of colour.
