The Painted Book...

Started work on a new piece today. This is a test for the next series I want to do… Basically I’m planning on making a series of paintings based on familiar stories (eg Red Riding Hood) and linking all these separate story paintings together with an on-going narrative (the story of an artist meeting the characters in the paintings, by painting them…)This will then be presented as an exhibition and as a book… Am also experimenting today with some video of the painting as it develops…hopefully it’ll work… :)

Chapter 1 - part 7

Nearly finished, just a couple of highlights and some Gold to add…:)

Currently Untitled - Part 1

Finished the drawing and started on the first stage of painting on this piece today. I haven’t settled on a title yet, will depend on what I have her looking up at…might be a bird…might be the moon…I’m in two minds :) The canvas is square. The model is Emma.

Waiting for the Right One - I - Finished

Another long day today, but that’s meant I’ve finished ‘Waiting for the Right One – I’.
I’m really pleased with this one, the best picture I’ve painted for a few years I think…I wanted something that was beautiful as an image, while having a very personal meaning to me & a flexible meaning to viewers in general…I think I’ve got much closer to that aim than I have for a while…hope you like it & find something within it that speaks to you…

Waiting - Part 2

waiting - part 1

Artweeks is well underway now & we've had some lovely visitors in over the weekend, in between borring them with my chatter on pigments I've managed to get a little work done on this new painting. It's called 'Waiting for the right one - I' & the model is Katie.
