Abstract Circles

I really like this circle effect I get when I take photographs. Small hard edge circles are a feature of my paintings.

Through the Trees

Imagine lying on your back looking up at the sky through a canopy of leaves pierced by the dazzling sun. Recall the heat, stillness and brilliant light of a summer's day. It is a time past, that fleeting moment of contentment.

Look Up!

the idea for the exhibition started when a painter friend and I 

were out sketching in the Hampstead area...... 

 

 under a wonderful canopy of green

Sketching

looking back through my sketchbooks I came 

across these drawings which were the 

starting point for my paintings

I have altered the colour in this photograph

to make it brighter and to make the branches 

blue.....this gave me an idea on how to tackle the 

painting. I am abstracting from nature and taking my 

experience of being amongst the trees and transposing it 

into paintings ...its not realistic ...its an impression

Getting Ready

 only a few weeks to go until the exhibition

 

 getting the paintings ready to hang

This blog has been set up to provide details of exhibitions I am working towards.
