The male figure will be more cubist ish in style…hard against soft was the thinking…The shapes came together without any conscious planning to take a bit of Picasso and a bit of Dali, so hopefully the final picture will be a ‘Graham’.<BR/><BR/>I think the forms in the ‘Golden Key’ and the on going ‘Black and Red/Cut’ pictures are sufficiently original to be interesting, hopefully this one can continue along that path…<BR/><BR/>I don’t know exactly why I felt the need to find ‘My’ way of painting…I have a direction with the landscapes which is my own and worth exploring further. But my passion in painting has always stemmed from storytelling…I need to find a way of engaging the viewer that stops them in their tracks and then draws them in…and I need to do it in a way they’ve never seen before…<BR/><BR/>…rambling now ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552237507162302897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6902272894835579097.post-71201641400311479562009-01-25T21:51:00.000+00:002009-01-25T21:51:00.000+00:00Very intriguing.

I shall look forward to seeing how this develops....its very picasso-esque (reminds me of Guernica) but also very Graham too. :-)SueChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17485396254133631330noreply@blogger.com
