  • Small warm up pieces in the studio. They are such a delight to work on. Warm up is the key phrase as it is so cold in my studio I need something fun to get me off the chair and more than 6 inches from my heater!

  • The transformation of the unfinished piece from my last post.
.
These seemingly simple compositions are more pared back, but with many layers of history underneath. I am so enjoying creating these atmospheric pieces that speak to me of an age old connection to the land and place.  Something that grounds us when we immerse ourselves in that experience. It is a practice I need to make more of now and in the future. This act of creating art about that feeling is my constant reminder.

  • Three of these are finished. Just the lower left one to work on a bit more. Oh and the three at the back. Oh and the other fourteen pieces out of frame 😉

  • Paint and repeat. This winter studio hibernation is doing me the world of good! I can't wait to get to the studio each day and I am knee deep in this series. This one is reminiscent of harbour walls which takes me back to my ongoing theme.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Breath of winter series - Oil and cold wax on Arches paper, 6.5 x 10 inches (2019) I think I will take some these to the framers soon.
