Back Again.

Been a busy time but getting back to it again.
completed an abstraction using tessellated wool scraps and trying my hand at gouache.

SKETCH OF A TRACTOR

I like tractors for some reason and I like red ones so in a moment of madness I produced this.

 

INSPIRED BY KINGS WOOD AGAIN

INSPIRED BY KINGS WOOD AGAIN

I was looking through some photographs that I took in Kings Wood last autumn and came across a picture of some oak leaves that were turning to their autumn colours.  Inspired I produced this painting. Looking at my work now I feel that had I produced it on some fine gossamer fabric it could have been hung and move with the breeze mimicking the leaves that inspired me.

RECENT WORK

I have been busying myself producing an abstract inspired by the things that archaeologists dig up as seen on the telly. Things that have be distressed by the soil and time.

I have also found time to produce a sketch of oak leaves in Kingswood.

 

KINGSWOOD, BAWTRY

Another attempt using a sponge, pen and torn paper. Actually this is my third attempt, the second was bad.

Looking at it now I think it may need a bit more work yet.
(Not the best photographs, taken in low, bright winter’s sun, bleaching the colours and causing shadows. Hayho that's life.)
 



 

 

 

 

LAKESIDE, DONCASTER

A pen and watercolour sketch of the trees at Lakeside, Doncaster. For the colouring I experimented by using a sponge instead of brushes to apply the paint. Not a natural sponge but a piece of synthetic sponge used for packing. There are mistakes with the picture but I like the process so I may experiment a bit more.
