 which will remain with McKeever until the mid 1990s. In the following series of paintings, Door Paintings (1990–1994), McKeever continued his practice of working in large groups, something he has adhered to until today.

“One of the reasons I work in groups is that I have no understanding of what a finished painting might be. The only way in which I can make sense of completion is by establishing a body of work which collectively constitutes a way of meaning, a lexicon, which has a specific sense of identity.”

, where he soon began to work on the Hartgrove Paintings(1992–1994), alongside the smaller Hour Paintings (1992-). He will return to the latter works time and again over the years.

The Marianne North Paintings (1994–1995)—three paintings, two measuring 265 x 703 cm and one 265 x 527 cm—were made specifically for Matt’s Gallery, London, in 1995. These saw, for the first time, the re-emergence of colour in McKeever’s painting.

In 2001, McKeever began to work on the Four Quartets Paintings (2001–2007), a group of large canvases prompted by hearing Paul Schofield reciting T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets
Four Quartets
Four Quartets is a set of four poems written by T. S. Eliot that were published individually over a six-year period. The first poem, "Burnt Norton", was written and published with a collection of his early works following the production of Eliot's play Murder in the Cathedral...

 
. In 2004 however, he re-evaluated this concept as he recognized that the Four Quartets needed to emerge out of main groups of already evolving paintings. This series of paintings was finally completed in 2007 and consisted of 16 paintings, four from each of the following groups: Symmetries(2001–2002), Here Paintings(2003–2004), Temple Paintings(2004–2006) and Assembly Paintings(2006–2008). These were exhibited for the first time at the Morat-Institut für Kunst und Kunstwissenschaft Freiburg im Breisgau, revealing the quality and presence of light in the paintings as being more pronounced.

"The quality of light in a painting intrigues me enormously: how to imbue a painting with light so that one is not actually depicting it, but somehow its quality is implicitly within the painting—-almost emanating from it."

Between 2004 and 2006 McKeever continued his interest in the relationship between architecture

 and bodily forms in the Temple Paintings (2004–2006)—these constitute the largest paintings within the Four Quartets.

Since the mid 1970s, McKeever has maintained the practice of writing both on his own work and on subjects that interest him, as well as keeping journals
