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?

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
