mari french & hunstanton

This still life includes Origami swans, a book my friend Helen gave me, and some pink tissue paper. I would have preferred these 3 still life paintings to be much larger but they had to be smaller pieces. Its all good discipline.



Saturday was Helen's birthday and we went to see Mari French's exhibition in King's Lynn - fabulous work and almost all in acrylic/mixed media.  
At Greyfriars Gallery - near Greyfriars Tower.

On the way back we stopped at Hunstanton, it was warm and still - the light on the vastness of the Wash was totally beguiling,  Hunstanton beach felt stragely primeval;
I could shut out the trio metal detecting, the rock pool gazers and dog walkers and imagine tree ferns and brachiosaurus wandering about.

Not any on this photo though - or that group of family and friends would be moving a bit faster....

Still life 2

Good to have second painting on the go.

The clockwork bird was a car boot bargain - £1.00 and Buzz was 50p.
I like this first stage when its loose and free it will be lovely to keep it like this. The Framer will be sorted next week, he is 2 villages away - best to buy local and he is really good.

You can see the varied green ground showing through. The only green in the still life were the few bits on Buzz. Using a varied green ground will make it easier to balance these within the painting.

Still Life 1 - Stage 1

Oil paints are just wonderful. They glide over the canvas, picking up unexpected traces of another colour, adding, mutating...
Its been a while, the last few paintings have used acrylic for a more detailed under painting with oil paints scumbled or glazed over that.

The 4 still life paintings will all have a loosely brushed coloured acrylic ground with oils used to model figures and forms.

And I must sort out frames soon too, the list continues to grow....

Starting new work

I have 4 small (30 x 40cms) still life paintings underway now.
The photograph on the left is the first - Hands Up

These are for Giuseppe D'Anna's gallery - Argentum in Colchester.
It is a pre-Christmas show so the still life paintings are
cute and colourful and use toy figures and animals.



I have a lovely and very intuitive friend Jane Stevenson, who makes Back flower remedies - She makes them in the way prescribed by Dr Bach himself and they are potent and effective. Jane works with both people with animals and has created some great "Pet Blends", she lives in Cromer - as Dr Bach too.

I will put a link at the bottom of the post.  


I gave Jane a Navajo Tea bundle to try and this Thursday I think there will be enough flowers for her to make a new remedy from the Thelesperma megapotamicum flowers. It will be interesting to see what emotional states this flower will relate to.

.
