Thoughts about my painting
The act begins with a meditative approach to the landscape moods I want to work with. Conscious choices are made with respect to the color palette that will form the basis for the painting's mood. When this is ready I start the first phase of the painting.
This first phase contains color joy and chaos.
How long can I hold back the need to see something figuratively on the canvas? How far can I push the playing with the colors before I go in and take a conscious control over what has occurred on the canvas? How long can I tolerate the chaos?
At some point, the beginning of the seriousness starts and the playing is over. From that moment thoughtful and conscious choices based on the painting is the focus.
The colors have great significance for me when I try to create an ambience of a place. I'm not looking to recreate photographic pics of the areas I have wandered in.
I seek a mood or a reverberation of the landscape.
My goal is to create:
A room, which the viewer can enter in.
A place where inner emotions can be awakened to life.
A landscape that is both there and not.
Abstract paintings inspired by specific locations.

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
