GET UP AND BOOGIE

DANCING FIGURE 09/34 (2009)

acrylic on paper

33cm x 24cm

price (unframed) £ 48.00 GBP (see below)

This is one of a handful of paintings I did the week before last - whilst working on my canvases for www.galleryguesthouse.com

The figure is an amalgam of a Germano-Celtic mask (including the pointy head) from around 400 BC and a South Sea island figure painting. I added a shirt and tie and gave it a carnival feel.

I always said I would try to be honest with the images I post here. This painting was done a couple of weekends ago- and it seemed to take me with it - rather than me controlling it. It reminds me of some paintings from Germany and Italy in the 1920s - I'd have to go back and look at some of my books to remind myself. I have just been looking at the original - and I like the vitality. Be interested in anyone else's views.

Still waiting confirmation of my PayPal account at which point I will start pricing works on this site - but as always, if you are interested in buying this or would like to discuss a commission then email me at

VIBRANT ART ON THE CHEAP !!!

FACE 09/26 (2009)

colour pencil on paper

14 cm x 10cm

FIGURE 09/25 (2009)

coloured pencil on paper

9cm x 6cm

FACE 09/24 (2009)

coloured pencil on paper

14cm x 10cm
These 3 pictures will have to be my last posting on this blog for a few days as the laptop is going on holiday with my wife and daughter. I will have to resort to public access internet for a few days. I like these - as they are done with the cheapest materials - ie children's coloured pencils from a bargain pack from a local supermarket ( and a cheap fibre tip pen for two of them). It always makes me wince when I see the price of some artists' materials - but I suspect it all adds to the mystique of being an artist. Despite the cost -the vividness of the colour is cracking (in my opinion).

I am quite pleased of the second image - FIGURE 09/25 - as it is the first truly miniature image I have ever really put on this site. I would like to hear your views and opinions.

As always - these and lots of other work on this site is for sale, or alternatively, if you are interested in a commission - just email me

2 NEW PAINTINGS

MASK FACE 09/23 (2009)

watercolour on paper

14cm x 9cm

MASK FACE 09/22 (2009)

watercolour on paper

19cm x 13cm

As promised here are 2 more colour sketches based on my sketches from the source material on African art. I am quite pleased with them as quick works - especially the first one which was done from start to finish on the top deck of a bus travelling into and back from Plymouth.

Not quite sure why the second figure has a collar and tie - just liked the idea of juxtaposing something fairly stylised/abstracted with an everyday detail.

As always would be interested in your comments. This and much of the work on this site is for sale. Alternatively if you would be interested in a commission just email me to discuss.

SKETCH TO IDEA

FACE 09/21 (2009)

gouache and oil-pastel on paper

19cm x 24cm

Last weekend I finished a lot of pencil sketches from a variety of books on African,Oceanic and Celtic art. I used one of the African carved images as the basis for this colour sketch - which I might render as a bigger painting later. I have done a couple of small watercolours as well - which will probably get posted at the weekend.

I am using some of the technique and colour scheme on a large version of my monotype-self portrait ( already on this blog) - which I started today - possibly with a view to entering it into "Artists and Illustrators" annual competiton. More of that later. I'll post the end-result even if I don't submit it. Hope you like this.Views and feedback welcome.

This and lots of my work is for sale. Equally if you would like to discuss a commission - email me initially

mydogateart@googlemail.com

WATERCOLOUR !!

MOSAIC FACE 09/16 (2009)

watercolour and ink on paper

20cm x 20cm

Haven't really used water-colour for a long time - but was quite pleased with the end result for this. The individual coloured grid with linear figure is directly influenced by Paul Klee.

Interested in your views.

As always this and lots of other work for sale. If you are interested in this or a commission just email me ( googlemail allowing !!)

MAN IN THE MOON (PLUS ONE)

MOON MASK 09/15 (2009)

acrylic on canvas

40cm x 40cm

FACE 09/14 (2009)
pastel on paper
23cm x 33cm

Two new images - both done in the last few weeks.
I am not sure if the mask image is finished or not - which probably means it is.

I'll be posting lots of small pieces this week - and reporting here and on Twitter on a possible piece for the Gallery Guesthouse here in Plymouth.

APOLOGIES

FACE 09/13 (2009)

ink and watercolour crayon on paper

8cm x 10cm

Apologies to all the people who have made such lovely comments on the last few posts - I intend to respond to them all this week. Truth is I haven't been feeling 100% this last week. Here's a new small image to be going on with - I have quite a few others and am aiming to post 2 or 3 times the rest of the week. I've said before here that it's been mooted that all "portraits" have a large element of "self" - well this one could certainly be looked at in that light.

This and lots of my work is for sale - or if you would like to discuss a commission just email me at

PAINTING MYSELF

MONOTYPE SELF-PORTRAIT 09/10 (2009)

Oil pastel and gouache on paper
21cm x 15cm

I was thumbing through a magazine and saw an article on transferred line printing – as used by Paul Klee and in some of Warhol’s early works.

It’s probably not something I’ve thought of doing since I was at school. I had to hand a black and white photocopy of my blog profile photo and off I went.

Not sure about it – but quite like the flat printed , slightly surreal quality of it. I couldn’t resist adding some red lipstick . I could see other applications for this technique which I will probably be experimenting with soon.

If you want me looming on your wall – this is for sale – just email me to discuss.

mydogateart@googlemail.com

On the subject of my two abstracts immediately below I might try to take some photos showing the basic technique I used and post them here soon. Can I also say thank you again for the brilliant response to those two pieces.

TWO MORE FACES

FACE 09/7 (2009)

oil pastel,pastel and gouache on paper

15cm x 20cm

FACE 09/6 (2008)

crayon and gouache on paper

13cm x 15cm

I might seem obsessed with faces - but I like painting and drawing them as they give me space to work with technique and colour. Interested to hear your views as always.

This and much of my work for sale - just email me to discuss

mydogateart@googlemail.com

BLOCKS

BLOCKS 09/5 (2009)

gouache on paper

30cm x 21cm

This was an experiment with gouache and sponge printing - and a bit of hand-tinting ( a nod to Paul Klee ) - we like it so much that it's going in a frame in one of our bedrooms !

I am nearing completion of the two small canvases for my lounge - I'll post them as soon as they are done - I have got some new faces to post as well - so plenty to come in the next week or so.

Much of my work for sale , commissions considered.

email me - mydogateart@googlemail.com

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

mydogateart@googlemail.com

A couple more tomorrow night to wave goodbye to 2008.

TIDYING UP 2008

Over the next few days it is my intention to post some odds and ends of small drawings and ideas that I've done over the last month or so.I am currently working on two canvases for my own living room - started them this afternoon in fact - as soon as they are done they will be posted here.

Anyway back to the tidying up -

STILL LIFE (2008)

oil pastel on paper

14cm x 9cm

FACE (2008)

ink and watercolour on paper

9cm x 14cm

These pictures are for sale - just email me to discuss

mydogateart@googlemail.com

SKETCH 13/12

SKETCH 13/12 (2008)

mixed-media (gouache and oil-pastel) on paper

20cm x 20cm

This is an attempt to come up with a theme and structure for 2 canvases for my own viewing pleasure - in other words they will be in my lounge. My wife Debbie likes this - so that probably seals it ! I think the underlying theme is beach pebbles. I have loads in my garden.

However - if you want this version in your home - just email me to discuss
