‘Bird Is Free’ date : 2009 size : 30½” x 23¼” medium : oil notes : A semi-abstract composition painted in honour of Charlie Parker, which shows the artist's more contemplative side. comment : “With this piece, I simply wanted to paint using brushes and nothing else; the joy of moving paint on the surface with long deliberate strokes to give texture was the raison d'etre for the work. It also gave me good reason to immerse myself in the music of ‘(Yard)Bird’ again.”
