Vase 53

Acrylic and collage on board 40 x 30cm
I am tipping towards abstraction here with the emphasis on shapes.

Vase No 50


Acrylic and collage on board 40 x 30cm
My primary concern here is composition.  The forms have been flattened and my interest is in the negative and positive shapes.  Colour is low saturation and high key hues.

Vase 38

Oil on board 40 x 30cm
I rather like the simplicity of the forms in this composition: a nod to minimalism.

Vase 37




Oil and collage on canvas board 40 x 30cm
Composition in red.
This painting has been through several evolutions before I was happy with it.  I have left the second last evolution before I added the collage.

This was painted in blues, greys, white and yellow ochre with a touch of burnt Sienna.

Vase 28

Acrylic on board 40 x 30cm
Here I am utilising very high key tones and hues with low saturation.  The result: very difficult to photograph.

 

Tuesday, October 26, 2021

Vase 27

Acrylic on board 40 x 30cm
My aim here was to paint using low key hues with low saturation and a narrow group of tones.  The result was very difficult to photograph.

I have used a palate of lemon yellow, and purple- complementary colours-  plus gray and white.

 

Friday, October 22, 2021

Vase 25

Acrylic on board 40 x 30cm
Another vase using a limited colour palate.  I have used warm and cool greens plus black and white hues.

Vase 24


Acrylic on board 40 x 30cm
This has been an exercise in painting with warm and cool blues, plus black and white.
It took a while to be satisfied with this one.  I wasn't until I added the collage that I was happy with the composition,

Vase 22

Acrylic on board 40 x 30cm
This composition owes a lot to Matisse.  I have employed decorative colours and a palate of warm and cool reds and pink, blues and a high keyed lemon yellow.

Vase 14

Acrylic on canvas board 40 x 30cm
Very inspired by Matisse.  Pattern, colour and shapes are the priority here.

 

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

Vase 13

Oil on canvas board 40 x 30cm
I was concentrating on bold shapes and composition here. Consequently all form and colour are largely suppressed except for a warm blue on the vase.
