The Odyssey Collection

This is the first painting in my new Odyssey Collection, perhaps a breakaway from my more traditional style.

I find myself concentrating on the colours and patterns of natural forms and shapes, presenting the figurative in a more abstract way.

This is a swirling painting of rhythms and colours based on the River Nile

This image is a collection of fragments of memory as I sailed down the River Nile earlier this year.

The carvings on the temple pillars and the headdresses of the Gods and Pharoahs seemed to echo in the rich rhythms found in the Nile foliage and aquatic life.
