"Ever given to experimenting, in the little black oil, I took the 'line out for a walk’, as it were, in a serpentine motion. An ensemble of more than one line made way for a pattern that brought to mind a variety of intertwined forms. Again, selected bits of colours against a black background added a touch of drama to the precious little painting." (Correspondence with the artist, April 2019)
