Fish Swimming In My Head

Little Fish
Acrylic On Canvas Paper

     There must be something i like about fish because i keep finding reasons to paint them. Maybe it was that Hiroshige book i bought. This one didn't take too long to do but the textured gesso seems quite effective at portraying water.

Raiding Folders

Amulet

     The purpose of this blog is not just to showcase Artwork that is complete or my best or even fitting to how i normally work, but to provide me with a place to show the other stuff i do which might not see the light of day otherwise. Here is one such painting i did earlier in the year that i found in a folder. Jewellery design is another area that interests me and so sometimes i create little paintings like this. I plan on putting up some work in progress shots soon of a series of paintings i am working on right now in my next post so stay tuned.

Bellydancers

Poise
Acrylic On Canvas
14 x 10"

      These are the last few pictures im going to be able to upload for a while given the poor weather. ATS Bellydancers give me the opportunity to combine both abstract and representational elements in my art with ease, from sweeping movements to small accessories. The possibilities are endless and they are great fun to paint.

Landscapes

Three Spirits
Acrylic On Canvas
16 x 12"

In The Shade
Acrylic On Canvas
14 x 10"

     Here are a couple of landscapes i have worked on. I like painting landscapes a lot as you dont have to pay them to model for you. I now try to incorporate more backgrounds into my figurative work where i can as i think it makes the images seem more complete, even if they are abstracted.
     Three spirits was submitted along with two other paintings for the Doncaster open art exhibition but didnt make the cut. I still got the other two in though so that was ok with me. The other two paintings will be uploaded when i get them back again and if the weather permits me to photograph them.

Fountain

     Well here they are as promised, the first of a selection of paintings i have completed over the last few months. These two in particular were exhibited alongside many others at the Fringe open art exhibition at the old Doncaster Art College in September. I was quite pleased to have my work exhibited and to become a member of the New Fringe.

New Paintings On The Way

     Over the next week i will be uploading my most recent paintings for your viewing pleasure. I hope to get hold of  a Tungsten light sometime in the near future so as not to be at the mercy of the weather when i need to photograph my art. Anyway this corner of my world is where all my completed paintings live until i can make a record them. Keep an eye out for my new stuff.
