Abstraction and Beyond...

Good morning and welcome to my Monday Blog.

If you are a regular viewer you will be familiar with my love of abstraction.

  I am always looking for new ideas and here is one from this week's work.

Actually, it is part of a painting from my studio cupboard.

Norfolk Marshes  6 x 6 inches 

  

                                                 Detail from Norfolk Marshes                                                                      

                          This detail at the bottom of the canvas attracted my attention.

By cropping out the area and enlarging the image I now

 have an idea for painting an abstract on a large canvas.

I also enhanced the colours a little...

Here is another small study which could become the subject for a larger work.

It would need a large brush and some sweeping strokes to give gesture to the piece. 

Along the way   Oils on board  4 x 6 inches

New framing...

Weather on the Shore  Oils on canvas board 10 x 12 inches

My framer cut a cream mount/mat to give this painting some space.

An Ash frame is gentle on the eye for this Lincolnshire seascape.

On the wall...

On Tuesday evening I had the pleasure of seeing three of my paintings

hanging in the Sam Scorer Gallery, Drury Lane, Lincoln when

I attended the Preview of the Re-Union Exhibition.

This show is open to view 10am to 4pm until Friday 22 December.

My three paintings in off-white frames.

Last but not least...

My favourite painting of the week.

Dune and Drift   Oils on board  4 x 5 inches

A few weeks ago I showed you this little off-cut.

It has now been elevated to a front of house position.

My tiny landscape study is in a gold-coloured frame

 hanging on my sitting room wall.

I have asked my framer to make more of these frames...

they are just right for giving a sense of importance to a small picture.

Until next Monday...
