This is one of 4 canvases that I have been working on for a group show at Summerhall in October. To be honest, I have struggled over a few weeks repeatedly painting over images that were just not working. I then hit upon the idea of having mainly words in the absence of any meaningful imagery on brightly coloured, expressionistic backgrounds. I did them on unstretched, unprimed canvas for a rough raw feel, like protest banners. They will be simply nailed to the walls when shown next month. I'm still not 100% happy with it though.
