A few quick sketches

Charcoal, collage, acrylic and gesso

Studio Chair V

Oil on canvas 61 x 51cm 

Have had a bit of a break from painting for a few weeks while I returned to Perth and found it difficult to get back into painting.  It seemed like this old chair fought me every inch of the way.

Really liked the shapes that were formed by this chair, both abstract and concrete.

Studio Chair III

Oil on canvas

Yet another chair!  There is something very evocative about an empty chair. The presence or absence of the sitter is hovering just outside one's vision.

Studio Chair II

Oil on canvas 61 x 51 cm

It has been unusually hot this April.  My studio is right under the sky light, so its easier to move into the common space and paint a chair!

A few quick sketches using charcoal - from Tuesday's life drawing session.

I love this chair.  It has appeared in another of my paintings (Studio broom) and, no doubt, will appear again.
