Too much pink Painting

I learned portrait painting under the guidance of Alan Ramsay (winner of the UK National Portrait Prize) at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. While he admired my colour sense and each pallet I made, I bemoaned my drawing skills. One day he said, 'Just paint color.' It took me quite a time to realise he was giving me permission to explore abstract painting. About 2 years after I discovered line painting and 'Too much pink' is but one example. 'Too much pink' was a commission but when the intended clients saw a photograph of the painting they emailed, saying, 'We like it but there is too much pink.' I nearly chucked it in the bin. Line paintings are a joy to produce. The colors that appear on the canvas may reflect something of the time and invariably there are elements of mathematics and humour in the choice and nature of each painted line. I discovered early on that no matter how 'messy' lines may appear when viewed at 90 degrees to the painting when you view the painting from a smaller or larger angle something amazing happens. The lines become fine and sharp as if painted with a ruler and a very steady hand. Something akin to works by Bridget Riley. You may be able to tell readily enough but in this painting I eventually dispensed with brushes and just squeezed paint direct from the tube.
