I’m hugely enjoying this self-motivated exploration of light and texture. As yet I’ve no idea where I’m likely to exhibit it. Today’s painting does remind me of the soft buttery light that flowed through the windows of St Oran’s Chapel on the 15th May this year.

I’d love to treat my walls to a coat of lime render (the plaster used to cover the walls of St Oran’s) but it’s a bit caustic I’m told, not ideal for domestic settings.

Here are the three window paintings so far ..

More tomorrow …
