The beginning of a new body of work emerging after some frustration as to a clear direction for future work. I have been going back to basics and experimenting and currently finishing four panels 150 cm x 50cm wide. This is an interesting format and quite a challenge.

These were layered atmospheric paintings which grew on you more as you advanced through the exhibition, which I did a number of times. In all there were seven galleries. Right from the first gallery where the early landscapes were fledgling, showing the artists search for direction, there was an inherent strength, particularly in the portraits. Fred Williams was quoted as saying he had a fierce desire to paint colour.
