raw frustration

raw frustration 2 raw frustration 1 raw frustration 3

3 rough-edged pieces of raw unprimed canvas

mounted and painted on commercial canvas

then removed from the mounts

swirls and shapes and angry colours

painted with ferocious energy

now hang limply over a rail

what next?

each piece is about 70cm squarish, originally mounted on 80cm sq canvas

I could re stretch and remount

I could paint over them

I could burn them

any thoughts?

sunsets

the light at this time of year is wonderful, particularly at dusk
I have been posting photos from sunset walks on facebook lately and several have included the old ruined gables of derelict cottages on the island where I live
this is a painting I made at this time of year a few years ago
sold now to a local collector of my work, it strikes me that I should do some more on this theme
