“Veil of Being-Life Quilt”: Pencil;Gouache on Paper

“Veil of Being – Life Quilt ” was purchased by a private collector during  the Solo show at the Carre Gallery last month( see last 3 posts for  further images and details of work exhibited).

This piece along with two paintings , drawings from the portfolio and a large selection of collage cards , helped to make the two-week show a success. The comments and hugely positive  interaction with people who viewed the show was a tremendous affirmation for my work .  As an artist this is hugely important, so thank you to everyone who saw the show, and the people who follow and view this  blog.

 But onwards and upwards…..the studio is settled again and art making continues!!!….. The next work to be exhibited will be as part of The Lincolnshire Artists’ Society Summer Show at the Sam Scorer Gallery in Lincoln, Lincolnshire , England. The exhibition will run from the 26th of June to the 8th of July. Quickly followed by a selection of work being presented at the Marschapel Art exhibition which is part of the  prestigious annual music and art festival. Further details to be posted as each show comes up..watch this space….Once again, thank you out there!!.. for your continued support and interest, onwards and upwards!….

Featured Work: “Water Veil” -Oil on Canvas

Water is a recurrent subject  matter. Capturing the qualities of water in paint , is an ongoing fascination and challenge. Water reflects light and colour, ripples, cascades and falls over a large area and then it transforms from droplets into snow, splashes, trickles, eddy and laps around edges on a smaller scale.  The ”Water: Falling/Veil ” series is an ongoing  progression of paintings and drawings that I have developed over the last ten years and  continue toworkon .

“Water Veil”-Oil on Canvas mx 0.8m

The painting featured here is  in Oil on canvas and was developed over two years. It has approximately twenty layers of paint ,starting with turps laden washes of colour and then building th surfaces with paint while still working with glazes over and over the surface.

Detail of " Water Veil" Oil on Canvas

This painting  has attained its own space within the image, that is, the viewer is able to look through the layers and deeper into the image as forms or reflections emerge and submerge, while the final  layer of marks ripple across the surface.

The painting will be exhibited next month, more details to follow.
