New Works - Autumn 2014

92/43/EEC? Oil on Panel.  I came across an empty turf shed earlier this year and wondered if the emptiness was anything to do with the EU Habitats Directive which has banned turf cutting in certain bogs in order to protect the natural environment etc. The Habitats Directive is 92/43/EEC.  

The Blue Door - watercolour.  Occasionally, you see things that seem odd.  The blue door could simply be a recycled door or maybe it was intentionally painted in that colour because it was the only colour available.  Who knows? But it caught my eye.
