Precipice reserved This delightful little portrait is

This delightful little portrait is a typical work by Thomas

A complete mystery to me

As a Monmouthshire boy I’m disappointed only to crowbar one Welsh painter into the show but David is a fine ambassador for our shared culture

The core of this painting is the distant breaking light

I’ve painted on and rubbed away so many times that the colour surface in places has taken on a glowing bronze-like quality

Precipice reserved This delightful little portrait isPrecipice, n. a headlong fall or rush, a sheer drop Precipice explores the fraught connection between two people on the brink of the unknown. Above them, the potential of flight; behind them, oblivion. In this precarious moment they cling together with fragile grip; the high key and subdued colouration of the painting enhance the feeling of height, adrenaline and thin air.
