Colour has always been a fascination and I have enjoyed exploring colour theory especially during the pandemic when I delivered an online series of workshops all about colour theory called ‘Colour Sense’.

Words and their associations are never far from my mind and the more I look the more I discover which often happens when you focus on a topic. Words and personal connections are very personal, sometimes unexpected and I look forward to hearing about other people’s ideas.
I received a gift of a sketch book from Paper Foundation in Burneside which was perfect for a series of water colours exploring ideas about colour and associations with words. The Shipping Forecast always mesmerises me with the familiar phrases spoken without emotion but full of meaning and significance especially those at sea! Combining those ideas suggests more and more pairing.

Here is the first one of the series – ‘Squally showers, rain later.’
