I made this a while ago. It’s acrylic and charcoal painted on a wood board.

Monk Waits.

There has been snow. There will be more. Monk waits in this moment, accepting what is.

When the world is frantic, it’s good to take a moment to pause.

‘Tree and Mountains’ is simple, minimal, contemplative.

Perhaps you’ll pause here a moment and reconnect with now.

I use lots of these - also bathroom loofahs, toothbrushes, a plastering trowel…. It’s endless discovery - with each different ink and surface giving new small insights!

This is a small piece on canvas board (8” x 8”)

The black ink I ground from a Japanese ink stick. The yellow is an acrylic ink. The red is handmade from red ochre quarried in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland.

I made it with a wallpaper scraper.
