Every one of us has a favourite song, right?

A song you could hear over and over and never get bored with.

For me, that song is the hauntingly beautiful “The Windmills of Your Mind” by Noel Harrison, which featured in the classic film ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’, starring the late, great Steve McQueen.

One morning in the studio, I was putting the finishing touches to this painting. It didn’t have a name at this point until - as if on cue - that very song came on the radio. In that instant, something clicked. The circles, the rhythm, the endless flow of colour and form all mirrored the lyrics. And so Windmills’ was born.

‘Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel’ - this piece captures the endless turning of thought and memory. Rings of colour drift and overlap, tumbling across the canvas in a rhythm that feels both playful and profound. Blues, greens, yellows, and pinks spin like fragments of a dream, while drips and textures soften the edges, as if time itself is melting.

There’s a certain rhythm running through this piece that feels familiar, even if you can’t quite place it at first.

It isn’t chaotic movement. It’s more like something looping — ideas returning, shifting slightly, then circling back again. That was really the starting point. I wasn’t trying to capture a single moment, but something ongoing… the way thoughts, memories, and feelings tend to move through us.

You’ll notice how the colours carry that energy.

They don’t sit still, they hum a little, pushing against one another, then easing off. The overlapping forms create these subtle cycles, almost like layers of movement happening at once. Nothing resolves completely, but it doesn’t need to.

It keeps turning.

From across the room, it reads as bold and expressive. Up close, it softens, colour and form become more nuanced, more personal. You start to pick up on those quieter moments within the movement.

And that’s where it tends to connect.

It has a way of pulling you in without demanding attention. In a living space, it brings energy and conversation. In a quieter corner, it settles into something more reflective. It doesn’t behave like a fixed image, it feels more like something that shifts slightly each time you come back to it.

That’s what makes it stay with you.

Over time, it starts to feel less like something you’re looking at, and more like something you recognise. There’s a familiarity to it, that sense of thoughts looping, ideas evolving, clarity appearing and slipping away again.

It doesn’t try to pin anything down - it just keeps moving, in its own way.
