Crafting a colour! Thank you to Little Greene paints, I’ve been crafting my own pallet.
Finding the perfect combination from their range of colours, I’ve created unique formulas that I can repeat throughout my work.
#capturingalikeness – observation and perception 01
Walking round the National Gallery while thinking about my portrait project, I snapped these close-ups of paintings I liked, selecting them for their range of styles and treatments. Live models would have been used by the artists in all cases, but in some, only as a starting point.
#naturalforms – fluid sculpture 03
I cannot work without wearing gloves, no matter how careful I am I always end up covered in paint, so I wear these vinyl gloves, which in this case have turned themselves into an artwork.
#connectinginterlocking – leading to other places 01
While hiking through woodlands I was delighted to find this perfect example of a natural bridge formed by a tree that had fallen across a steep ditch. Firmly anchored at both ends it provides a stable crossing point.
#structuralcurves – noble grandeur 01
This doorway on Lincoln Cathedral’s north side is a feast of decorative arches and curves that build an illusion of great depth while drawing the eye ever upwards. Only the door openings are structural, while the two outer arches elegantly fill what would otherwise have been a blank wall.
These fake windows are in the boundary wall of what was the Ealing Asylum, intended purely as decoration on an otherwise blank wall. One wonders what was on the reverse.
