St Ives rocks





 First marks for a new painting, oil on canvas, working from sketches of the rocks around Man's Head in St Ives.
The painting progresses, and disappoints for some reason, trying to get some gutsy painting marks in, while holding the image, I struggle with that tension between the image and the abstract qualities, I keep thinking that the good paintings lie in between the two, but they keep slipping away.
