After a year of doing medium, large, and sometimes enormous paintings on an easel, it's always a nice change to settle into doing some 20cm x 25cm canvases, which can be done on the kitchen table or anywhere. The Doorway gallery continues to give its artists this remit for its December exhibition. As well as offering a complete change in my work practice, it also offers no choice, which is a welcome relief from decision making. The only thing to decide is what to paint. November 2024 saw me gravitate back to Dublin, where my home is as central as you can get, and on my wanderings to and from the shops, I realized my inspiration was right there in the city centre. I only did the required 5 canvases, but I have several more already started, and I could go on and on.
I look forward to developing some city themes further in 2025, on bigger canvases.
