“Life and Death” was painted as the centrepiece for the ”Oceans and Deserts” exhibition and was the final painting created for the series. The place where the ocean meets the desert. It was painted at a time of great personal loss and the flotsam and jetsam of my life can be seen bobbing about in the shallows. It was also the last of the paintings created at the much loved Balfour St. Nailsworth studio, a.k.a. “The Blue Cat Studio” in August 2010.
