When we see paintings on websites, in galleries or on the walls of people’s homes, we rarely see anything of the process that goes into the making of the work so I thought it would be nice to show something about how one of my paintings evolves. As I’m working on a piece, I am in the habit of photographing it at the end of each session. In this case I’m showing you how the painting Willow on the Pang evolved.
The River Pang flows into The Thames at Pangbourne - hence the name of the town, but this is a few miles upstream at a village called Bradfield, where I lived and worked for many years.
