Thank-you Margaret. I am trying to get the essence of what really moves me to paint a figure, and leave out or remove the rest. Sometimes it is difficult to know what that essence is, but finding it has a lot to do with the application of the paint i.e. putting the paint on in such a way as to suggest rather than illustrate things. In this way the painting tells me a story - rather than me having a predetermined story that I want to impose on the painting.
