As we went across the field

As we nimbled our way around the prim and proper hedges.As we dazed along the muddied ribboned tracksAs we side by side brushed the dead soil Object as prompt and worldI painted a little wood panel just now. It prompted me to write those words above.The painting is like a view finder into my interior…… Continue reading As we went across the field

Thinking about recent work

So, My work as taken a bit of a turn in the last few weeks. It’s gone from this: To this: How do I reckon these two styles together? Alot of the paintings I have done feel quite general – they don’t have a specific location, they feel more about a mood, an atmosphere, the…… Continue reading Thinking about recent work

Studio 19.1.24

Good morning. In the studio, I’ve just arrived. I’ve been making some interesting shapes on the paper paintings. Now the question is how to translate them into bigger paintings? Perhaps I could spend some time looking at the artists whom I have been recommended in mentor sessions. I could also ask what is wanted of…… Continue reading Studio 19.1.24

Island tide timelapse

It’s the new year and I have been itching to do this project for weeks. I wanted to use coloured paper to make a timelapse of the tide coming in and out of an island. Here’s my favourite result: https://videopress.com/v/O2FHl6hF?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&loop=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true There’s something strange and sci-fi about it. Something 1960 about it. It reminds me of…… Continue reading Island tide timelapse

Suns in abstract painting

Two paintings side by side, one with a circle in the top half, one without. The dot changes the painting completely. The first, a flat shape cut out, Matisse. The second a great big expanse. The sun liberates the blank flat space and gives it pictorial depth. How mad, that a painting can change so…… Continue reading Suns in abstract painting

Current thoughts: Empty space in painting

Hi there. I have just arrived at the studio and want to type down some thoughts on the things I’ve been doing. Firstly the two bays blue stone one *picture* I did the first layer copying an A4 painting. Then I left it for a while. Then I came back to it and put on…… Continue reading Current thoughts: Empty space in painting

The words place and land

Place Noun 1. a particular position, point, or area in space; a location. “I can’t be in two places at once” 2. a portion of space designated or available for or being used by someone. “they hurried to their places at the table” I have used this word unthinkingly for years, yet looking at this…… Continue reading The words place and land

funny rock thoughts

I have realised that both landscapes I am interested in at the moment – scilly isles and west Penrith in Cornwall, are on granite rock. Is this coincidence or am I drawn to this landscape? Both landscapes, because of the granite rock, have this incredible black undertone to it. Cold, steely undertones. Very intense. It…… Continue reading funny rock thoughts

many small paintings thoughts

Sooooo. I’ve been making a tonne of these small paintings. They’re mostly of vantage points of st. Agnes. I’ve had a lot of fun doing them but I don’t want to make any more right now so I’m sitting down and going to write about them. Feeling kind of tired. Anyway. At the moment the…… Continue reading many small paintings thoughts

wips

I’ve been making a lot very quickly and it’s all rough and quick and thoughtless which is good because I just want to get down and start making. I feel like I should do some reading, I haven’t done any reading for ages I think it would be good. I have Jung’s Modern Man In…… Continue reading wips
