‘Cezanne’s -“Mount. Saint. Victoire” overlooks, Renoir’s- “Boating on the Seine” !’ OR “Rowing on a Mountain Lake”!

This is one of a mini series of paintings I did, working from old Master’s works. I had the idea of trying to seamlessly gel together two different artists’ masterpieces to form one new image (See another example of this in Still Life (Master Compilation Series) -” ‘EAR’, Where’s He Gone?” – Oil Still Life) These two scenes above, painted in oil, I think, work very well together, and it seems completely plausible that this scene could actually exist. Artwork with a twist. If you take away the titles of the Master’s works and I gave it a new title now as an original painting of “Rowing on a mountain lake” Maybe!!!?

Handmade and designed three dimensional Patchwork Cushion Cover

It is not very often I work with the colourful Batik cotton fabrics, I suppose I am more of a traditionalist in some respects, but then make my own boundaries in the design of how I use them in others! The colourful cotton centre panel in this cushion just seemed to keep falling out of my stash, as if urging me to do something with it. Already preprinted with the flowery scene I decided it would make a nice garden backdrop. After collecting coordinating and contrasting coloured cotton pieces I set to work, having in mind a three dimensional figure for the middle. Using lots of different fabrics in this cushion, from lace, cotton, fancy trims, wool for the hair, organza and a plastic butterfly. Eventually they all come together to make this totally unique cushion cover.

‘Doorstop Dumpy’ – Graduation Owl Doorstop

Here is another of my ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ which I created and designed the patterns for myself. This is in fact the first owl I made from my pattern. It was made for my Daughter after she graduated from Oxford University with her Master’s Degree. That is where the wise old owl and the sub fusk idea came from and I used this as inspiration in the design of my ‘Doorstop Dumpy’. As you will see in other posts in this section, I have made other owls from my pattern but no two are exactly the same, making them all unique!

I Titled this painting – ” ‘EAR’, Where’s He gone?”

This little painting is the result of playing around one day with Old Master’s Works. I had the idea of ‘gelling’ together two different paintings by two different artists. Of course I can’t take any credit for their artworks in the first place, though I must admit to being very pleased with the idea I had. (It turned out to be a mini series of four so far) Though perspectively challenged I do like the fact that they have seamlessly gelled into one picture. To add to the quirkiness to Whistler’s Mother and Van Gogh’s Chair I think the title I gave it just adds a little fun!
