The Cat and the angel, acrylic on hardboard

Cat and the Angel, is a memorial to my beloved cat Squint, who died last year.It shows her, tumour and all, in dialogue with her fate.It is painted on a black background, using bright, glowing colours, a mixture of melancholie and mirth.

Snatches of Tramline, acrylic on canvas,40X33

Snatches of Tramline, is a quote from a poem by W.H.Auden, wonderful ! A description of a defunkt industrial lanscape in Northern England.Here I have used an almost monochrome palette, which is also a part of Exploring Black, a theme which interests me at the moment, of which Black and Light is also a part.
