Two iPad drawings

Two small paintings

I've been making small paintings over the last couple of weeks. Here are two of them :

Pink Overwhelm
8"x10"
Acrylics and Watercolour

Erupting Rectangle
8"x10"
Acrylics and collage

Where colours go to die

This title happened as I was painting and it feels right.

Acrylic and collage on canvas 15.5"x15.5"

4x4 project on canvas

4 4x4 canvasses
Total dimensions 8"x8" Acrylic on canvas

I've enjoyed making these little things, but there's something weird about the small scale. I don't feel I have enough scope to do what I want to do on them. Either I give up on it, or I do a whole load more of them and mount them all on one board to make them into one big piece. I shall see what happens !

The Alchemy of Mining

Levant Mine










I'm fascinated by all the old mine works around in the landscape where I live. There's something very basic about the alchemical transformation of earth elements into metals. It's also quite frightening to see where the guts of the Earth have been ripped out and left out on the surface for us to watch. And now, since the mining is now almost extinct, the Earth is reclaiming the land again, making it whole, greening up what was once an intense industrial landscape.

Here is a painting showing something of what this landscape evokes for me.

A Drawing

I did loads of work today, on paintings, printmaking and drawing and was getting nowhere, when suddenly I drew this on top of a failed monoprint. I quite like it. It has the feel of the West Penwith Landscape as I experience it anyway.
