What is the 'Month' series of Paintings?
 
Abstract paintings created by adding a single new brushstroke onto the painting everyday throughout the month.
 
I start with a primed cradled wooden board that has been painted with a different base colour on the first day of every month - for August, the base colour was Naples Yellow, the colour of sunshine and sandy beaches.
 
I thought about creating a series of paintings like this while I was travelling in Laos. As well as writing in a journal about my travels I also starting making a visual diary of sorts in my sketchbook, where I would draw a different shape, in a different colour to symbolise each day. I would have pages filled with different coloured blobs that represented my travels.
 
Once back in Cornwall this evolved into the idea that I could start a new painting on the first day of every month and add one brushstoke each day until the end of the month. Once the month is over - the painting is finished, whether I like the end result or not!
