I seem to have a constantly growing stack of paintings and collage that I need to upload to
Flickr, list on
Etsy and
Folksy, and tell you about here. This weekend I managed to find a bit of time to list a few things.
Rhapsody in Blue - Original Collage
This is a mixed media collage of blue and neutral coloured squares. I've included elements of drawing, stamping, painting, marbling and pieces from letters, magazines, sheet music and old books. I love the recycling nature of collage, creating new art out of fragments of old art, ephemera and junk!
Size: 8.5" x 8.5" (22cm x22cm)
Columns - Original Watercolour
A fresh and expressive watercolour painting of an arcade of columns in Barcelona. I sketched this first using pen and ink and then I've tried to keep the painting loose and expressive.
The suggestion of a figure in front of the archway adds to the sense of depth and perspective. I've also tried to capture a feeling of urban decay and isolation.
Size: 9" x 12" (23cm x 30cm)
York Minster - Original Watercolour
Original pen and watercolour painting of York Minster.
I sketched a close up section of the cathedral in fine line pens. I then added colour and detail with watercolours.
I've tried to keep the painting expressive and spontaneous. The close up view creates a more interesting composition, and a lively feel.
