End of second year

so yeah the end of second year...

these are the two paintings that i have decided to exhibit.

Acrylic paint, and acrylic mediums used( gel gloss)

I did this painting over a series of weeks. My main focus was to get the colours right, i wanted the flower to appear bright and bold and full of life, hope, i feel the use of the acrylic mediums helped me to achieve this.

I feel like i achieved alot by doing this painting, it took my away from everyday issues and made me forget , took me away to another place. Somewhere more colourful, somewhere more beautiful, an illusion of colour.

Mono Prints.

I did these mono prints to help loosen up my style, enabling me to be more free within my painting regarding brush strokes.

I enjoy mono printing as it is expressive and doesn't have to be controlled, which is what i like.

current pieces and new ideas and mediums that i am discovering

i will go into more detail on my next post

work from this current month- March.

March.

New Work

well...this thing is in need of updating. Been busy in the studio recently painting

, my work's changed alot over the last few months. Its gone in a new direction,more out of the box, working with different mediums and experimenting more with paint and paint application.

Currently been looking at alot of work by John Hoyland, Fiona Rae, Dan Perfect ( who are both a couple, makes sense) check out their work though, probably two of my favourite artists at the moment. Also monet a much more tradition painter, but the flower is something major within his work, which relates to my practice.

Anyway lots more work to come, these photos above are work from jan/feb time.

work that i am currently working on. exploring colour, how colour can effect emotions. this first piece is going to have a playful feel, something that you could imagine in a childrens bedroom ect.
