‘Jack and Jill’ – (On a Ledge Series) – Watercolour version

Bored and uninspired one day, I stood in my kitchen wondering what I could draw? Whilst wondering I absent mindedly started tidying and rearranging things on the ledge. I’m not one for nice pot ornaments, rather have slightly wacky or weird decorative things around! So, as I now had a disarrayed pile of things I had moved and a clean window ledge – The idea struck me. I could use it as a little staging area for a series of still life pictures!!!

The idea for “On a Ledge Series” was born.  Above is one version of ‘Jack and Jill’, two little rag dolls my daughter brought home from a trip abroad. This particular one is done in watercolour. Other posts of Jack and Jill for the future will be a version in soft pastel and one in oils.

The Philosopher and The Scribe

Somehow, or just because, I decided one day to use up the colour pallet I rarely deal with when doing landscapes or portraits. Liking better to utilise than leave to waste, I thought the best way to make the colours useful being in the form of abstract art. To which point I became more and more fascinated with the series as they emerged onto the canvas in front of me. The irony of this is that as I got into the moment I ran out of the colours I was using and had to go buy more!

Letting my Brain and paintbrush work together leads to all kinds of results. Here is the finished creation. Even though I painted it, I still find things which intrigue me on the canvas!

Chaos in My Head?!, My ”Forgotten Dreams II”

Maybe an insight to where my mind goes sometimes. Somehow chaos and disorder seem easier to deal with in Black and White. I love doing these strange abstract pictures as each shape takes me to the next. There is no forward planning or initial sketch. I just go with the flow then enjoy finding ‘Things’ within my own picture, which I hadn’t seen that way when I was drawing it! Hopefully it will intrigue you too while you explore My Creation!!!

‘Poppies in waiting’

This is one of a series of Poppy pictures I painted in oils. Throughout the poppy flowering season I would rush out each morning, into my garden, especially when the sunlight was good, to take photographs of the delicate new flowers opening. I feel the unopened poppy buds offer just as much interest as the flowers themselves, with their soft fuzzy fullness.

One of a series of abstract paintings – using up colours I normally only use sparingly or not at all!

Somehow, or just because, I decided one day to use up the colour pallet I rarely deal with when doing landscapes or portraits. Liking better to utilise than leave to waste, I thought the best way to make the colours useful being in the form of abstract art. To which point I became more and more fascinated with the series as they emerged onto the canvas in front of me.
