Well..relatively the year is still new After doing a piece of great calculation, I had a real craving to do something completely abstract and spontaneous.

I chose to undertake it as part of "Project Disability" by where you do an artwork with your "other" hand or blindfolded. I did this piece with my left hand.

This is the first time I've ever used oils and they were interesting to work with. Practicing briefly, I found it extremely hard to get what I wanted from them (neat, precise detail was nearly impossible), so to me they suited abstraction perfectly

I chose this title because when I'd finished, some parts seemed to have a slightly festive vibe, and it contains alot of opposites - what had been and what could be.

From [link]

"A challenge to you, all of you, to do artwork with your other hand, blindfolded, or both. For a moment, try to consider what it would be like to suffer a catastrophic injury (as it might be to an artist) to lose either your vision or use of your preferred limb. You can even go further and imagine the loss of both limbs and try creating art with your teeth or your toes. I'm sure you will find as I did that: we evolve, we adapt and in a strange way, as frustrating and discouraging as it is, it helps us to come to terms with loss and the surprising font of ability and strength that comes from coping with that loss.

I hope all of you will participate. Any offers of stamps, news, features, word-of-mouth etc. Would be fantastic"

So give it a go!
Anyway, hope you like this.
