Ronnie’s forest bleach painting

After showing an experimental imaginary bleach painting on WordPress.com last year I was asked by our family friend, Ronnie, if I would do a larger version for him. As everything art and craft wise became quite hectic in the run up to the holidays, I said it would be in the new year – and here it is as promised.

This painting was done on standard A3 black card, (double the size of the first one) using nothing more than a little brush, domestic bleach and water with a touch of imagination!

After having a preview of the larger version, Ronnie was ”Really pleased with it!” my Mum informed me and now it is in a glazed frame on its way to be hung in his apartment.

Thanks for your continuing support Ronnie! 🙂 (I know he reads my blog!!!)

‘SCENE’ From a Bench Series- ‘After The Fair!’

In this picture, I dreamed up an idyllic scene in my head, of people arriving by  hot air balloons, to a remote location, on a beautiful Summer’s day. The excited crowds would have enjoyed all manner of activities; jesters, music, and dance, even perhaps a circus in the far distant tent. There would have been food stalls providing the merry people with refreshments all day long… The bench sitting in the foreground would be the ideal vantage point for all the goings on…eventually, the end of a perfect day…’SCENE’ From a Bench – ‘After The Fair!’

This series of pictures have all been done using Oil Pastels and in each one I have placed a Bench. Always the same bench but sometimes I’ve flipped it around to suit the angle of the scene. All the pictures in this series are from my imagination and are drawn to give maximum illusion to the perspective of the landscape around and create as much depth as possible in the small images. Hence the series title, ‘ “SCENE” From A Bench’ !
