I spent a few hours in the studio making A5 studies a few weeks back. It was lovely to work fast and not over think form or colour and to test out ideas for larger pieces. Chilling today with family and it's lovely to refect on a great year. #art #studio #galway #ireland #irish #galwayart #geometric #painting #colour #form #Irishart #artstudio #artist #watercolour #posca #A5 #study #studio #colourwheel #circle
