Today I revisited my painting of Bedford waterpark - the contours of the grass and the patterns of the thorn bush.
I've been talking to Bedford artist, Anthony Mackay, about his process. He has found it useful to doodle in order to explore composition. I copied one of his admired abstract paintings (top left). I looked at a number of my recent photographs - a field, a bridge. I sketched the patterns in the foliage. I doodled.
