a bit of a lull in posts, I have been quite busy and then there was the Arvon week in Devon, which I really should write a post about, it was amazing, and somehow seems to have triggered a sea-change in my painting<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_4388\"<\/a><\/p>\n

a detail from a larger painting on plywood panel which I actually worked on in my pottery workshop (originally when it was corrugated iron it was my painting studio but the clay took over)<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_4373\"<\/a><\/p>\n

another detail – by the way the red is just my phone camera, really it’s an orangey rust – I worked on it in a much more relaxed way, over three days, partly because putting paint on with a palette knife, as some of it was, means it does take longer to dry, even in acrylic paint<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_4389\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and partly because there was no need to hurry, and there were a lot of other things going on at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_4382\"<\/a><\/p>\n

the light is great in there, and my old studio easel has been propped up against a shelf until and used as a convenient hanger for years, so I turned it around, but kept it leaning rather than standing on its feet. painting before various things done<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctoberbigpainting\"<\/a><\/p>\n

like adding the rooks, more sky paint and quite a bit of other more subtle stuff – the finished painting. it is 81 x 62 cm<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_1626\"<\/a><\/p>\n

the change was largely brought about by making charcoal drawings and NOT looking at the original photo. so yesterday, in the village hall I repeated this procedure.<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_1627\"<\/a><\/p>\n

early stage here<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_1631\"<\/a><\/p>\n

finished – only 40 x 40 cm, so when the palette knife comes into the mix and brush handle tip\u00c2\u00a0drawing, things can get quite quick, but very adrenalin fueled, and lots of colour mixing going on.<\/p>\n

so then there was time to paint another ….<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_1632\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been quite fascinated by how the electricity poles that march across our fields interact with the landscape, and have taken a lot of photos of them recently<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_4377\"<\/a><\/p>\n

especially against evening skies<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_4375\"<\/a><\/p>\n

so this painting is part of a series<\/p>\n

\"paintinblogoctober_1634\"<\/a><\/p>\n

just 40cm wide, and 30 or so high. after this I was bushed, I have to admit. but there will be more!<\/p>\n
