donegal dreamscape
2 works on panels, each panel 50 x 70cm
oil and cold wax
with other images showing the history of the pieces through several layers
scratched and scarred and scored through layers of being
born in donegal
landscapes of rugged terrain, wind and rain
mythical and mystical and maybe magical

new page alert
They’re done! Well started at least!
3 new pages on my site:
cruit island
oil and cold wax on panel
tools and process
Mostly visuals, cos that’s what I do!
Come and check them out and let me know what you think
Thanks
Liz Doyle
new look, please be patient
there are no pages anymore
the static pages with old work were I ut of date and boring, so they’re gone
I will make new pages
one about where I live in beautiful county donegal, ireland, which I intend to update with regular local snaps
me on golf course beach, cruit island
and a page of tools and techniques and the mediums that I use
so please be patient
in the meantime I will continue to post regular blogs of my paintings
thanks
Liz
wax works in progress
Gamblin wax from T Lawrence including a free sample of ‘Torrit Grey’ oil paint that has been made from pigment collected from the air vents all in celebration of ‘Earth Day’. Amazing!
I’m enjoying building the layers, then scratching and scraping through and back. Off out again now, more later
building the layers
4 paintings
all 80cm square
building up layers
an acrylic underpainting
then oil with siccative
more oil and impasto medium
we’re getting there
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?
dribbling
dribbles 1
dribbles 2
My daughter thinks that dribbles in paintings are lazy
Some people think dribbles are simply gross
I think that dribbles are part of an organic, unpredictable way of making abstract work
I find dribbles in the work that I make, inspired by the rain and the clouds and the wetlands of rural Ireland, are appropriate
But what do you think?
And heres a famous ‘dribbler’:
Joan Mitchell
looking back at myself : an early starter
a self portrait of me age 5, made on a droid doodle package on my tablet
the painting from 61
slightly edited for colour saturation so you can see it
