Restretching an old linen painting other way up
It’s huge! (120cm x 200cm – about 4′ x 6’6″)
Priming it with gesso on 2 easels in my studio
First few layers on New Years Day
A blue grey base coat. Then taped. Then turquoise above, 2 greens below. Some yellow powder pigment dusted over the bottom half. Random diagonal marks with the squeegee edge. Removed tape. More tomorrow.
Good start to 2016 🙂
Just finished this diptych
2 canvases each 80 x 100cm so the whole piece is 80 x 200cm
Thinking of making the same idea on canvases at least twice the size
Have decided they are 2 separate pieces not one diptych
Winter 1 & Winter 2 each 1m sq
Update on trees from Hafod
Diptych 100cm x 200cm, probably finished now – and probable title is ‘Winter Trees’ (Hafod is an estate in Wales with lovely woodland open to the public, but not many people outside Wales know the name )
The other painting is still in progress, inspired by a sunset over the sea ‘Carrickfinn boat strand’
Also a diptych, but this time each canvas is 100cm x 80cm so the whole piece is 100 x 160cm
First time back in the studio after returning from Wales
Started 2 canvases each one metre square
Tape and paint and more tape and more paint
Will add dark tree silhouettes after Christmas
Wishing everyone a happy peaceful holiday
for the last few weeks I have been mostly making stripes
migration (5 canvases) 100 cm x 440
and fence series (8 canvases) each 80cm sq
New stock just arrived and now on the website
Dreamscape. 96 x 156cm
Green orchids. 96x156cm
Orchids meadow 120cm sq
Fields of early purple. 120cm sq

an unusually late session in my studio
my qualia of turquoise
“Uses of the Term ‘Qualia’
(1) Qualia as phenomenal character. Consider your visual experience as you stare at a bright turquoise color patch in a paint store. There is something it is like for you subjectively to undergo that experience.”
5 canvases
4 @ 100 cm x 80cm
1 @ 100 cm x 120cm
A diptych and a triptych
Or possibly a quintych
A strange starting point today, prompted to look up the word ‘qualia’ by a friends post on facebook, an investigation in paint followed!
