Gouache on paper
Signed, titled and dated ‘Patrick Heron/Mini February I :1974’ verso

‘In my gouaches, the tempo is dictated, quite apart from the particular needs of the area-shapes I make, by the nature of the wet medium itself. I like the water in the paint mixture to lead me: to suggest the scribbled drawing which gives birth to the images…My gouaches have always had this fast-moving fluidity of drawing, and a softness, coming from the watery medium itself…’ 1
