emerging
Some more texture and colour layers on the two new panels
each 110cm x 80cm
Very wild and windy today, had to keep leaving the srudio because the stove was smoking
Starting to bring out the shapes with small lines and dribbles and scratches revealed wirh orange peel solvent
Detail close up shots, one from each panel
light fading
end of my painting day
daylight fading
fire is out
3rd layer complete and the strong red finally hidden ( for now)
panels progress
starting to cover the first layer of red with a pale creamy green
The strong red is proving to be very tenacious, adding marble dust and yellow powder pigment in with the green
first two layers nearly ready, coffee break before third layer!
anticipation
absence of colour

preparation
2 new Millikens cradled birch panels, 110 x 80cm, taped edges, two coats of gesso
Hoping my new can of Gamblin cold wax medium arrives tomorrow via TN Lawrence art suplies
turquoise for the stones
I made 50 mince pies this morning
Maybe a transfer of eastern promise
The 4 most recent stones paintings are now turquoise
more stones
2 x 100cm x 80cm stage 2
so here they are back in my much reorganised and spacious feeling studio
applied a few more layers using baking paper to transfer the paint with a roller
then ‘ revealed’ the beginning of a couple of forms wirh solvent, blotted with tissue
scratched a bit, smoothed a bit with a squeegee
photos are rather gloomy because its dark outside and studio lights are dim
affordable art fair
I am showing these 8 pieces in the ‘Affordable Art Fair’ at An Griannan in Letterkenny next month
This will in effect be an art sale, with all works being priced, as the name suggests, at lower than the usual rate for the artist. I have far too much work stockpiled at home, so I will be pricing each of these at less than 100 euro in the sale. I have to deliver them to Letterkenny by next Wednesday 29th October.
However, if anyone wants to offer me 100 euro ( or exchange rate equivalent in £ or $) plus postage at cost for any of these before then please e mail me at:
liz-doyle@live.com
50cm sq
framed, mixed media on board, c. 80 x 55cm
these 2 each 60 cm sq on box canvas, mixed media including spray paint
4 of these works on paper, mounted, framed and glazed, image sizes c.8 x 10″
As these 4 are glazed, please note that I cannot guarantee survival of the glass in transit, though of course I will wrap them well
update on 12 on paper
12 small works on paper
getting there slowly
several new layers of cold wax medium and oil, and a few new graphite marks
removed some of the tape so I can see where I’m at
this one is probably my favourite so far
Will take them off the boards tomorrow, then choose 3 or 4 to do some more work on, and retape those 4 to the board
