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.

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 !!)

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

A few more odds and ends from 2008 - the top figure I had intended to use to greet the New Year as it has a certain aspirational feel - or maybe the person looks a bit puzzled ?
