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

winter trees separated
Have decided they are 2 separate pieces not one diptych
Winter 1 & Winter 2 each 1m sq
update on trees of Hafod
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
angry art process
6 small panels c. 9 x 11″
Process pics in reverse order
They got darker and angrier
tolerate chaos
the first 5 stages of work on 3 canvases in my studio this morning
the initial trigger was twofold: Diebenkorn’s notes to himself about how to go about making a painting
https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/diebenkorn-ten-rules
and there was a powercut
so I went with ‘tolerate chaos’ and also forced myself to not care about the first appearances of ‘prettiness’ and I didn’t ‘search for a subject’
thinking in blues
work in progress
3 canvases each 80cm square
