Going back

Taking a back step...

Making a mess

Oils, cold wax medium and 

corrugated card on canvas

I have to say....

usually I like to look forward but

on this occasion there is a valid reason.

This painting has had so many re-workings 

and I thought it was finished last week. 

Now I am not happy with it.  

I like the idea of 'shabby worn'

but it is too busy.  I need to 

reduce the 'noise'.   

Drastic cutting out is called for.

Some parts are interesting but 

I shall block out at least two thirds of the image.

When it's done I shall show you.

'Debris'

Oils and cold wax medium on 16x16 inch canvas 

I like this one more.

A quieter image.

There is a piece of corrugated card bottom right

which has a coat of Indian yellow and white.

Although the painting has plenty going on,

there are quieter resting places for drawing breath.

Moving on...

Ending on a good note.

A small picture on Arches oil paper.

About 5x3 it will make a winter greetings card.

This one was made in two stages. 

The warm background was dry before

going over the top with palette leftovers.

The paint was on the edge of a knife, pressed on and left.

I like the contrast.  

That's all for now...

Until next time.
