The series

The smell of nostalgia

It smells of the past without a date.
Of sunlight on old curtains.
Dust that keeps stories.
Safety and longing, sweet and a little bitter.
Unexpectedly, it lingers just too briefly.
A brief return home to a place that no longer exists.

The upright work standing on the studio easel in front of an unfinished canvas
Detail of the wide work: a yellow bloom of pigment running down into pale watercolour drips
The wide work resting on grey linen against a studio wall, seen from the side
Detail of the upright work: a sweep of gold leaf running behind deep red pressed leaves
The corner of the wooden floating frame, the canvas edge sitting free inside it
