'Source' is a small collection of pre-exhibition paintings, they were painted prior to working on my main collection that make up my new solo show Recent Paintings 2015 which will be opening on Thursday 7

Last year, I had painted quite a few bright Russian textile inspired flower paintings that have been at The Doorway Gallery. It was while I was looking at this source material for my new solo show, that I became intrigued with some late 19
th Century photographs of exiled Khans, nomadic textile traders and Russian peasant girls dressed in beautiful traditional Ikat coats and ceremonial robes.
As a result I painted this series of small
oil paintings, which I am going to exhibit during the show as they help to
further understand, how and why, I paint what I paint.
