Notes from the studio.
Occasional writing on art, materials and living with pictures. No schedule, no filler.
On colour
Folk portraits, and the rooms that can take them
A short defence of full colour, flower crowns, hummingbirds, and why one bold portrait can settle an otherwise quiet bedroom.
On contrast
Darkness as a design tool
What the Baroque understood about drama, and how one dark, glowing piece can hold an entire living room.
On stillness
One moon, and a quiet wall
A note on night scenes, why a single crescent moon above a reading nook does more than a wall of colour.
On making
Canvas with or without a frame: how to choose
What a frame does to a piece, and when you do not need one.
