Starting a New Work in 2022

I have anticipated this project for some months now and I am finally sketching the line art on the board. Its been hard sourcing material while we have been in lockdown and what with the mother inlaw still not ready for independence, my wife and I have been busy looking after her with hardly a moment to ourselves. But we have snuck away for a spell at my sister in laws farm where the board has been stashed and now I am getting it ready for my recycled plastic art. The linework was replicated from the mock-up image by using a graffiti artist's doodle grid, that's the red doodles you see. Now I am chasing old CD cases and I may do a scan of the local beach for plastic that has washed ashore. I intend on colouring this in the same manner as some of my previous paintings from New Zealand.
