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 !!)

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.

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.

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.
