A Time of Change

It has been creeping up on me but we have all noticed that my style has changed over time. It is nearly 10 years since I began this pastel adventure although really it is a continuation of my affinity with chalk, a hangover from the classroom days. 
I guess I used the "line" technique as a way of entering a new medium and the structure allowed me to explore the way the different pastels work. 
Recently I began to feel the restrictions of this technique and, on reflection, realise that I have reverted back to the almost cartoon style that I used on blackboards years ago. 
There has also been the influence of the iPad drawings which are clean and bold. 
The interesting thing is it seems to resonate with people and I have sold quite a few in the last couple of months.
People will have the opportunity to see several of these at The Platform Gallery during "A Brush With Art".
