I began this painting in bitumen and white emulsion. It was a rather ordinary landscape with little emotion reflected back at me. While working on the 'Kingfisher' painting I discovered new effects using ink over the top of the bitumen. This I find exciting.....anything new to me in my work is exciting. With this technique there will always be an element of chance, for me the chaos usually comes at the beginning of a work or in the middle. Here I can begin with structure and allow the chaos to happen.
