a reminder of a few weeks of stripes
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
qualia
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!
3 of the 6 day 2
These 3 small works on watercolour paper c. 9 x 12″ are the more successful of the 6 I started yesterday.
This morning I rolled them first. Then scratched some fresh marks and printed over a new layer of paler blue using greaseproof paper. Then a scrape smooth again with a squeegee and a few marks with a knife to suggest the birds

abstraction
Why on earth would I attempt to paint landscapes when you can get photos like these?
Admittedly the saturation is high and the pixels are visible
This sort of thing is a rich source for abstraction, combined with the sharp hail on my nose and my wet feet from the incoming tide
And Junos disappointment at the orange fishing float not being a ball (too hard too heavy) is just icing on the cake
Its February tomorrow, Spring will soon be here
Keep warm, be safe 🙂
