Autumns elbow.

I enjoyed the Melbourne festival in September and I think I am ready for the Banks Mill open studios in November.
I have been combining brush and knife work in the last few pictures I have made.
I have really enjoyed the process of underpainting the canvas and letting it dry, covering the whole thing with a top layer of mixed colours, then scraping back through to the original colour to add depth and detail, looking for “the Picture”,
Uncovering it gradually, letting it reveal itself until I reach a place where I think its ambiguity works.
I have been using brushes recently to keep myself moving and learning.
It’s a departure from the knifework but I have been enjoying the different approach.
It started with some quick sketching on paper and then drawing straight on with the paint.
I hope you enjoy them.
June. Three brushwork pictures..
March.
I don’t know where the time goes but thankfully I have a few new pictures to post – hope you enjoy. More in the gallery.
Two pictures for the start of Spring.
Sharing a similar palette and my usual looseness with theme, it’s all nature it’s all about colour and mood.
