The Philosopher and The Scribe

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!

Geranium and 'Friend' From My series of pictures "On a ledge series"

‘Geranium and Friend – Harvey’, From My series of pictures; “On a Ledge Series”

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 – ‘Geranium and Friend – Harvey’ A still life done in  colourful pastel.

Edgworth Overspill

With a beautiful autumn scene captured on camera, I decided to take a new approach. Instead of using my favoured mediums of oil paint or pastel, I dug out of the cupboard a set of coloured inks. Wow! I was really happy with the vibrant landscape creation.
