4 fresh bright breezy works for the day that’s in it 🍀
Tag Archives: Canvas
blue green cream
working
at long last a couple of hours in the studio
some works on paper finished
and 4 on canvas coming along nicely
I was supposed to be using some red today, didnt happen, maybe on Friday!
time for red
Bought some new paints today as I have completely run out
Had to buy locally where there isn’t much choice
They only had red, yellow blue and white in big tubes, so I got all three
Realized that I don’t use red much, or not recently anyway
Is that something to do with mood?
Anyway, here are some red works from a few months ago
progress in purple with yellow and turquoise
turquoise and yellow and grey
unstretched stage 3 ( prayer flags)
nearly done now
did another 2 hours with oilbars, powder pigment, varnish, safflower oil
graphite marks and scratches today
unstretched unfinished unsure
new work on unstretched coarse canvas in my studio today
they are not finished and I’m not sure where I’m going with them yet
they are inspired by prayer flags
raw frustration
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?
rough stuff
mixed media on unstretched coarse jute canvas

‘one sunny day in july’
