A note about the swastikas that show up now and then. An ancient symbol, the footprint left in the sand by Buddha. Nazi's like it too. All religions and nut-case fundamentalists interest me; and nauseate yours truly.

Working Space:

 

'Backbreaker':  The title comes from the fact I was working on this painting while being a Dad with a new-born baby, bent-over painting, and bent-over changing, carrying, lifting, washing; & so-on my daughter, thus my aching back.  

The subject matter of the painting however is an ode to the pantheon of artists (some anyways) I admire and my desire to ascend to said pantheon.

5 x narrow, tall, black & white (mostly) text paintings that hang or lean during display.

And yes I know I spelt 'minimalism' wrong; and I'm still struggling with whether to correct it or not.
