mussels colony progress
this one from yesterday looks like this today
and this one like this
mark making and mussels
eyes inward
oil and cold wax on panel 80cm square
sold
new abstract just finished
the last marks made were the loopy yellow oblongs and circles which bring the forms together I think
You can see the rough plastered stone wall off my studio too. Time to bring all my work inside as these walls soak up the damp like a sponge and all my canvases go mouldy!
Studio shot this morning (Tuesday 16th September 2014)
4 new panels painted together in oil and cold wax medium
Inspired by the purple mussels clinging to the rocks at low tide on a beach I walked last night
The two smaller panels, each 40cm square

this one, ‘Summer light’, mixed media on canvas board, sold in Erratic Makers, Dungloe last week
this 50 cm square panel, oil and cold wax, called ‘territories’ has gone to the Royal Ulster Academy in Belfast today, where it has been shortlisted for the winter show. Fingers crossed that it gets selected!

way down
RUA SUBMISSION ACCEPTED!
I’ m so delighted to be through the first hurdle
My piece ‘ territories’ has been selected by the Royal Ulster Academy
The next thing is to get it to Belfast, then apparently 1 in 4 that get this far are then chosen for exhibition
Fingers and toes firmly crossed!
This is a mixed media piece( oil and cold wax) on cradled wooden panel 50cm square
other people do it much better than me
I dont usually post flower photos because I have a shaky hand, so I usually leave it to those who do it well
But the heather and montbretia / crocosmia are so vibrant just now
Magenta is a difficult colour in painting because it is so powerful, and the powder pigment that I bought in Venice seems to have got everywhere!
Our magenta rugosa roses are nearly over but they are our biggest success story, thriving inspite of our strong salt winds
We are delighted to have berries on one of our rowan trees for the first time, we planted about 20 rowans 6 years ago, and most have survived, and a few have flowered for the last 3 years, but the blossoms always get blown off before the berries set.
