What kind of dawn adorns your lawn?

A sunny kind with vibrant rays,
Or a gloomy sweep of blues and greys?
And does your windswept grass need shorn,
Before it forms a dew-kissed maze?
And how are you for dusks, my friend?
Will they close your days with gold,
Or pass unnoticed into cold?
And do you apprehend those ends –
The start of tales yet untold?

New Painting Just Finished!
Just finished a new painting commission. Returning to a more impressionistic style has been a blast and I’m very grateful for the opportunity!


Simya | Hand-painted Music Video
I’m pleased to collaborate with jazz musician Sezin Angelova in the creation of a music video for her beautiful song, Simya. My original Wake film, entirely hand-painted, has been re-edited to accompany her sound and the result is an unexpected synchronicity! Enjoy the journey, musically and visually:

The garden of the bewildered cauliflower is abundant, for it is Springtime. More will be visible. Fruition, while being explicitly a consequence of the tree, is also an implicit cause of that tree growing to bear fruit.
Exhibition in Hawick
For the first time, my ongoing project of ‘Encounters’ drawings and paintings is being exhibited, at A7 Art Space in Hawick, along with my larger paintings, old and new. Together with fellow artist Celyn ( C. L. Booth ), we have put on a joint exhibition showing our artworks, on display until 15th September.
The opening evening was a surprise, a delight and an inspiration. Thank you to everyone who came to support the artistic spirit.

Portrait of van Gogh, played by Robert Gulaczyk, painted by Anna Kluza
I recently wrote about painting for the film Loving Vincent in Beshara Magazine. It’s a contemplation on the experience, the nature of animation, van Gogh’s vision, and the mysterious relationship between artist, artwork and beholder.

“To my left, an array of brushes and a careful selection of paint pots; to my right, the computer keyboard and a control for the camera which hangs from the ceiling. Beside the camera sits a projector, casting down a mysterious light. Above, connecting the camera and the projector, the computer monitor displays various images for reference, including rough video footage, photos of van Gogh’s paintings to study the technique and colour, and the live image the camera picks up. Then, directly in front of me, the focal point of this curious little room – the canvas board that will host the magic.
And I wonder: who was this man, Vincent van Gogh . . . “
