Week-end Inspirations!




My week-end was spent enjoying the textures, 
colours and shapes of  fall
 and
spending a day with my smallest muse!

Shades of Italy


I have great admiration for artists who paint abstracts.

While finding my around the process of painting oils, I began to push the paint into shapes and textures hoping to create some sense of balance.
When finished the painting had a familiarity about it but it took a couple of months before I realized that it reminded me of the colours and textures of Italy.

Life Drawing Monotype

This is another early monotype. I was in a life drawing class and using mylar I rolled out the colours and then drew the model with pencil and watercolour crayons (Caran d’Ache).

It's a very satisfying way to work, especially when some of the ink is not quite dry giving me the ability to move the colour into lines and create different textures.

I am now living in a box free zone which feels wonderful, the studio is set up and I have no excuse not to start painting.
