Which camp are you in?
Bear with me here…
Do you love Marmite or do you hate it?
I’m firmly in the ‘love it’ camp - especially on cheese, in a sandwich... mmm, yummy!😀
The exact same question can be applied to ‘maths’. This time I’m in the other camp - I hate it!
Maths lessons at school were never exactly my favourite place to be. Who wants to know about two trains leaving different stations anyway - numbers never really spoke my language.
I did like geometry though!
There was something satisfying about the clarity of circles and squares - shapes that felt simple on the surface yet endlessly capable of variation. I suppose they appealed to my artistic side even then.
That fascination has followed me into my painting. You’ll notice that many of my works contain echoes of those same geometric forms.
In ‘Off On A Tangent’, I let myself play freely with them - circles expanding, squares nesting within each other, and lines drifting between order and instinct. What begins as structure gradually loosens into something more expressive.
Look closely and the surface reveals layers of soft turquoise, glowing amber, and deep rust tones that seem to hover and merge across the canvas. Rounded forms feel almost like lenses or portals, while the angular shapes create pathways that guide the eye deeper into the composition. The paint drips and subtle textures add a sense of gravity and movement, as though the geometry itself has begun to breathe.
When this piece hangs in a room, it brings a quiet sense of balance. The structured forms create visual stability, while the colours and flowing textures add warmth and energy. It’s the kind of painting that slowly reveals itself over time - the more you live with it, the more relationships between shapes and colours begin to emerge.
There’s a quiet satisfaction in discovering harmony where structure and intuition collide, and that’s exactly where this painting lives.
‘Proof that even if maths wasn’t your favourite subject, geometry can still create something beautiful… and yummy!🙂’

Ok, question time!
What sweets did you spend your ‘pocket money’ on when you were a kid?
My sweets of choice were, and I quote…
‘That well-loved, British-made chewy, fruit-flavoured sweet with a crunchy, multi-coloured sugar shell’
I’m talking about ‘Tooty Frooties’.
Yes, these sweets were responsible for burning a hole in my pocket as well as probably a fair few trips to the dentist ☹️.
Bursting with colour, flavour, and fun, they were little bite size morsels of pure joy that felt like happiness you could hold in your hand. ‘Tootifrooti’ is my way of bottling that same playful spirit - bold shapes and juicy colours colliding in a vibrant hum of energy.
The emotional temperature is bright, carefree, and nostalgic. Reds, greens, purples, and blues fizz across the canvas like flavours tumbling from a sweet packet, each colour alive in its own right but even stronger together.
It’s fun, it’s fizzy, it’s full of life!
In your home, ‘Tootifrooti’ brings a jolt of joy. Hang it in a living room and it becomes a conversation starter, in a kitchen or dining space, it feels like flavour bursting into the air. In a studio or hallway, it lifts energy and mood with every glance.
It has the ability to connect colour with memory. It’s not just abstract - it’s playful, nostalgic, and personal. The more you look, the more it pulls you back to childhood excitement, those simple pleasures of pocket money spent on sweets that felt like treasure.
This piece thrives in eclectic, modern, and colourful interiors. It adds personality to minimalist spaces, cheer to neutral palettes, and rhythm to bold ones. Wherever it lives, ‘Tootifrooti’ will always hum with energy and fun.
“A bold abstract that bursts with flavour, fun, and memory”.

Every one of us has a favourite song, right?
A song you could hear over and over and never get bored with.
For me, that song is the hauntingly beautiful “The Windmills of Your Mind” by Noel Harrison, which featured in the classic film ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’, starring the late, great Steve McQueen.
One morning in the studio, I was putting the finishing touches to this painting. It didn’t have a name at this point until - as if on cue - that very song came on the radio. In that instant, something clicked. The circles, the rhythm, the endless flow of colour and form all mirrored the lyrics. And so ‘Windmills’ was born.
‘Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel’ - this piece captures the endless turning of thought and memory. Rings of colour drift and overlap, tumbling across the canvas in a rhythm that feels both playful and profound. Blues, greens, yellows, and pinks spin like fragments of a dream, while drips and textures soften the edges, as if time itself is melting.
There’s a certain rhythm running through this piece that feels familiar, even if you can’t quite place it at first.
It isn’t chaotic movement. It’s more like something looping — ideas returning, shifting slightly, then circling back again. That was really the starting point. I wasn’t trying to capture a single moment, but something ongoing… the way thoughts, memories, and feelings tend to move through us.
You’ll notice how the colours carry that energy.
They don’t sit still, they hum a little, pushing against one another, then easing off. The overlapping forms create these subtle cycles, almost like layers of movement happening at once. Nothing resolves completely, but it doesn’t need to.
It keeps turning.
From across the room, it reads as bold and expressive. Up close, it softens, colour and form become more nuanced, more personal. You start to pick up on those quieter moments within the movement.
And that’s where it tends to connect.
It has a way of pulling you in without demanding attention. In a living space, it brings energy and conversation. In a quieter corner, it settles into something more reflective. It doesn’t behave like a fixed image, it feels more like something that shifts slightly each time you come back to it.
That’s what makes it stay with you.
Over time, it starts to feel less like something you’re looking at, and more like something you recognise. There’s a familiarity to it, that sense of thoughts looping, ideas evolving, clarity appearing and slipping away again.
It doesn’t try to pin anything down - it just keeps moving, in its own way.

When I paint realism, I’ll often use a grid.
It’s just an artist’s tool really, something that sits quietly underneath everything, helping proportions fall into place. It’s never meant to be seen. Once the painting takes over, the grid disappears and does its job unnoticed.
But with this piece, I started to question that.
What happens if you don’t remove it? What if the grid isn’t hidden… what if it is the painting?
Instead of something precise or mathematical, the grid here became more of a loose framework, something to respond to rather than follow. It gave the painting a structure, but not a rigid one.
The surface was built up slowly. Warm ochres, rusts and ambers came first, then cooler blues and pale turquoise began to interrupt and soften things. Some lines were dragged through, others broken or allowed to fade. A few areas were reinforced, but plenty were left unresolved.
It’s not about accuracy - it’s about balance.
There’s a sense that the painting has been worked, adjusted, reconsidered. You can see traces of what came before — marks that haven’t been completely covered, layers that still show through. Nothing feels overly corrected, and that’s intentional.
Light plays its part as well.
Certain areas catch it more than others, pulling forward slightly, while softer passages fall back. That unevenness keeps the surface active without it ever feeling busy.
From a distance, the grid gives a sense of order. Something stable.
Step closer, and it loosens. You start to notice the warmth in the colour, the interruptions, the small tensions between areas that don’t quite align perfectly.
That contrast is what gives it life.
In a space, it tends to ground things without feeling heavy. There’s structure there, but it doesn’t impose itself. It sits comfortably, adding a sense of quiet rhythm rather than demanding attention.
Over time, it becomes less about the grid itself and more about the feeling it creates.

Some places never really leave us, don’t you agree?
The shapes, the colours, the architecture from our past. We move on, but parts of it stay subconsciously with us, always sitting quietly in the background.
I grew up in the South Wales valleys, surrounded by industry, miners terraced houses clinging to hillsides, bridges and viaducts cutting across space, heavy concrete and steel everywhere.
At the time it just felt normal moving through this landscape, but looking back there was a strong sense of structure running through everything. That’s the part that stayed with me.
I found myself drawn to the repetition of it all, the lines, the blocks, the way things connected and held together. Even the contrast had a kind of balance to it. Rust against dark surfaces, hard edges beside worn textures. It wasn’t polished, but it wasn’t random either, and there was something in that which stuck.
‘Urban Echoes’ comes from those impressions, but not in a literal sense. It’s more about reducing those memories down to form and balance, letting the structure come through without trying to recreate a specific place. The terracotta tones hint at weathered metal and brick, while the darker areas hold everything in place and give it weight.
There’s a framework running through it, but it isn’t rigid. Some elements repeat, others interrupt, and that slight tension between order and disruption is what keeps it interesting. It’s controlled, but not overly precise, and you can still sense where things have been adjusted or left slightly unresolved.
In a space it tends to settle in rather than take over. It brings a sense of structure and quiet presence, something that anchors the room without making it feel heavy. The longer you live with it, the more it gives back.
It’s really just a reflection of those early surroundings, simplified but still carrying their weight, the kind of influence that doesn’t disappear, it just becomes part of how you see things… and who you are!

Some paintings start with a clear idea. This one didn’t.
It began as an experiment, circles, squares, just seeing what would happen if I let things develop without trying to steer them too much. No plan, no end point, just responding to whatever was already on the surface and letting it build from there.
That’s how it carried on.
Each mark led to the next, layers building up without any real intention behind them other than to keep the momentum going. It stayed in that space for a while, purely abstract, nothing trying to represent anything in particular - then something shifted.
Once it was finished and I stepped back, I started to see something in it that hadn’t been there before, or at least hadn’t been obvious. A wheelbarrow shape began to emerge out of the forms. Not clearly defined, but enough to recognise once you saw it.
After that, you couldn’t really unsee it - well I couldn’t!
That moment (after a bit of playing about with the title) gave it its name. What started as pure abstraction picked up a kind of quiet reference to something real, almost as if the painting had been heading there on its own.
The colour plays into that sense of weight and movement. The reds push forward, giving it warmth and energy, while the greys and whites hold things back, creating space and structure.
Some areas feel solid and grounded, others more loose and gestural, and that mix keeps it from settling into one thing. The circles and geometric shapes give it a framework, but the marks across them break that order just enough to keep it alive.
From a distance, it reads as bold and graphic. As you get closer, it becomes more layered, different elements starting to connect, shift, and suggest something just beyond the surface.
In a space, it brings that same balance with it. It has presence, but it doesn’t dominate. It gives the eye something to work through, something that changes slightly the longer you spend with it.
And that’s really where it lands.
An abstract piece that found its own way into something familiar, without ever fully letting go of where it started.

Hi, I’m Paul
I'm a self-taught abstract artist working from my garden studio in South Wales.
My paintings begin with experimentation rather than a fixed plan. I work with colour, texture and movement, allowing each piece to develop as I go.
For me, painting is about creating something that holds your attention — something you can return to and discover a little more in each time.
