Moments of Blue-I, mixed media on wood panel, 153¼×193¼in (40×50cm). In this altogether busy image the challenge was to show that busyness without having complete confusion.

The juxtaposition of areas of seemingly meaningless collage adds to the overall ‘working farm’ feel. The blue colour was picked up from the collaged Caffè Nero coffee cup
