Creation needs destruction. Creating a drawing destroys a blank white page. Creating music destroys silence. Creating focus destroys distraction. Creating direction destroys drift. Creativity is fierce. Destroy what stops you making art. Be a warrior. #art #creativity #painting #calm #nature

Is this finished? The next few days will tell me. It’s not what I started to paint. It’s not even what it evolved into. It’s its own beast - unlike anything else I’ve made. I think it’s called ‘The Devil You Know’ Thoughts? #art #abstract #acrylics #charcoal #painting

I've just named 2 recipients of a tithe I make from Fanad Art 10% of all art sales will go to activists working at the coal-face of making the world better. Two of those organisations are: Fanad Coastal Group & Donegal Intercultural Platform www.fanadart.com #art #nature #refugee #activist

Watch a child dance, or draw, or sing. It's pure freedom. Then ask yourself if you're that free. Or are you self-conscious? When did your 'self' become a prison cell that stops you being free? #freedom #personaldevelopment #liberty #art #creativity

Really falling back in love with charcoal right now. Probably because it’s so damn natural. #nature #art #charcoal #drawing

Art is an invitation to pause. An abstract painting invites us to discover new ways to see. A minimal line on paper invites us to connect in stillness and detail. Art is an invitation to focus In a world of frantic distraction, art is revolutionary. #art #distraction #focus #painting #calm

I did this a few days ago, but was unsatisfied. Today I added some stark black charcoal lines and now I really like it… #art #abstract #acrylics #charcoal #landscape

Painting for me comes from a calm place. Music is a part of that. The late, wonderful, Japanese composer and performer Ryuchi Sakamoto is a go-to person to help create such a place. #painting #art #sakamoto #calm #contemplation youtu.be/LGs_vGt0MY8?...

For a couple of days I’ve had no time at my art desk. Too many other things demanding attention…. It’s like a day when you have no time to eat…. I’m yearning to sit quietly and create. I managed this tiny exploration. Wet meets dry. Thank god for sketchbooks. #sketchbook #creative #art

Art makes us human. In a world of AI and distraction, let's choose to stay human. Slow down. Value beauty. Be kind. Care for the planet. The systems we live in dehumanise us and make us into products. Be radical. Refuse. Let creativity and art be our weapons.

I've made a series of these using a pallette knife. For some reason I name them 'Stockholm Abstracts' #abstractart #originalpainting #acrylics #calm #compassion #connection
