MOTHS

In January I started painting these moths and writing poems about them.

in watercolour at first, all very soft

The spruce carpet. oil on canvas 30 x 24 cm.

The poems all got erased as although I love writing on other paintings, as in Daisy Paris, and Anselm Kiefer, it wasn’t working for me in oil, even when I cut the poems to one or two short lines.

On paper, hardly legible, I like!  Red swordgrass, watercolour in A4 sketchbook.

M O T H , oil on collaged canvas 80 x 60 cm.
