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?

one of a pair soon to go

one of a pair soon to go

2 paintings 80cm square
these have served me well over the last 2 years
there were 10 in the series
2 orange, 2 orange and blue (these ones)
2 blue, 2 green
2 pink and turquoise

they were inspired by the spiky sharp marram grass
that curves over the sandy paths round the shore

the orange ones are in Birmingham, England
a present for a 60th birthday

a blue one hangs in a cafe in Dundrum, County Down in Northern Ireland

a green one has gone to a friends holiday cottage

a pink and turquoise one was sold this summer, off to an unknown destination

they have served me well, featuring in 4 group shows

one of these two will be chosen to go to a new home tomorrow
good friends, heading off to their new separate homes2
