a bit more TIDYING UP 2008

As promised here are another 3 images done over the last month or so - some of which may end up as bigger works or are at least good practice pieces. All three are oil-pastel ( which became a popular medium for me) on paper.

FISH (2008)

oil pastel on paper

20cm x 15cm

This is another version of an earlier sketch - I think it is definitely destined to become a large canvas at some point.

FACE (2008)

oil pastel on paper

14cm x 20cm

another mediaeval feel here

FIGURE (2008)

oil-pastel on paper

11cm x 20cm

Can't decide if this figure is slightly sinister or not - let me know what you think.

All three are for sale - just email me to discuss

A couple more tomorrow night to wave goodbye to 2008.

ABSTRACT "SKETCHES"

ABSTRACT SKETCH 1 (2008)

acrylic on plasticised paper

10cm x 13cm

ABSTRACT SKETCH 2 (2008)

acrylic on plasticised paper

20cm x 14cm

I rescued a load of project file dividers from my desk - they are made of a flimsy plastic material - which I think is paper based, hence my description. It's the same material I used for "RED RIBBON". The shiny impervious surface is quite interesting to play around with - and these two are experiments with acrylic and palette knives that have worked out quite well and stand by themselves. I suppose I see them as sketches / preliminaries for larger works - hence the titles. I'd be interested to find out where I can get bigger sheets of the stuff. I,m particularly fond of "No. 1"

These and many other pieces of my work are for sale.
