Can you Guess what this painting is?

Mystery abounds with this painting

Do you love to get back to normal? You know how it is, when life is hectic and you long for routine in familiar surroundings? It’s been a crazy month, I’ve been creating art but I have not been blogging about it.

Back in the studio, at last! I’ve been playing catch up after Oxford art weeks, Bucks Open Studios, a visit to Manchester and another event last week which I can’t share at the moment but will when I can*.

In the meanwhile you can have fun speculating.

Onto the new paintings, this one has a distinctly abstract feel.

So I thought we could play a game. All masked and with a cling film layer. Can you can figure out what it is? It is abstract but it’s based on reality.

This one should make it easier for you...

Loved the bright colours and wish I could have kept it at this phase.

Still struggling, or have you guessed yet?

Here we have the masking being removed and finally, a wide view of the unmasked painting.

Yes, it's a piece of wall...

But, did you spot the car? I have no idea what model it is. In my mind it’s something expensive. No doubt someone will correct me, if I’m wrong.  The photo was taken on one of the backstreets off Piccadilly, London. I forgot to note where.

And finally a cropped version of the finished piece.

Painting of a wall with a drainpipe and window. There is a car reflected in the wondow.

Now, what's next?

*I can now share that it was Landscape Artist of the Year! I wrote a post about the experience. Take a look.
