A figure cut from a collage of decorated papers affixed to another collage. The whole is quite enigmatic as the figure may be seen as a nude or dressed! The image size is 8×10.5 inches.

Love looking at art. Love messing with colour.

Convo

An abstract collage of decorated papers mounted on a monotyped ground. Image 7.5×6.5 inches.
Reproduction available here.
Cheerful garden
© Catherine Redmayne
A suitable picture for Easter and spring. Hope we see the sun… Image 5.5×7.25 inches. This is a mixed media painting which I completed while following an online course with Diane Culhane. There aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the painting I want to – all such fun.
It’s available as a print, greeting card or phone case.
Under the lights
© Catherine Redmayne
A vivid/lurid background for the drawn figure with a weary face. What is her story? Image size 7.5×6.5 inches (19×16.5 cm).
Blood orange keyboards
© Catherine Redmayne
A layered monotype where a drawing has been printed onto a prepared monotype background using waterbased printing ink. Could have been called vamp ’til ready! Image size 5.5 x 5.5 inches.
Hill gods
© Catherine Redmayne
A monotype worked in several layers of gouache on Arches paper. The design is loosely based on a picture of an old turf cutting which is said to represent deities. It is from the Gog Magog Hills – an area steeped in tales of mysterious appearances, buried giants and ghosts. (The name ‘hills’ is slightly misleading as they are not very high: just definitely above the flat plain and therefore giving a commanding view.)
Artwork is 7.5×5.5 inches (19×14 cm).
Paradise garden

A 7 inch square of abstract colour shapes on fragile paper collaged on a background colour field (18×18 cm).
This image is available as a print or greeting card here.
The girl waits
© Catherine Redmayne
A tiny collage picture (ATC size) which includes a reproduction of a detail from a larger painting. It is so strange how the tilt of the head, the surrounding colour etc. changes everything – she looked quite happy before!
The original portrait sold long ago but this new version is available as a print in various formats here.
Ladder to nowhere
© Catherine Redmayne
A cheerful abstract pattern made of my decorated papers with additional paintwork. This painting was sold at an exhibition but it is available as a print, greetings card or phone case here.
Size of artwork 7.5×7.5 inches (19×19 cm).
Sparrows
© Catherine Redmayne
A fun experiment in trying to get a sumi-e look on the iPad using the Brushes App. The sparrow ‘paintings’ were then printed on silk and added to a background of prepared papers in a collage.
Size 7×5 inches (18×13 cm)
Jurassic Park
© Catherine Redmayne
A collaged pattern of pieces cut from prepared papers and stuck on a monotype background. The theme was suggested by a couple of the shapes but the pattern is abstract really and is one of an experimental set using simplified 3-tone versions of photographs as a starting point. 7×5 inches (18×13 cm).
I had this framed and Adam the framer said it was foxes so I renamed it Vulpes vulpes! But it’s still listed under the old title here.
Jamaican holiday
© Catherine Redmayne
Most of my current collages are made with decorated papers I prepare myself but this one I ‘made earlier’ has always been one of my favourites. The shape of the house is more-or-less as it should be but it was actually black and white. The collaged additions are not Caribbean!
Reproduction and iPhone case available here.
Dreary, bleary Alice
© Catherine Redmayne
A small picture which evolved through collage and many layers of paint. The title comes I think from Mervyn Peake’s Letters from a Lost Uncle and always makes me smile. Image 6.75 inches square (17 cm square) on heavyweight watercolour paper.
Dancing birds
© Catherine Redmayne
A giggle! Collage and stamping on watercolour paper.
Ash cloud
© Catherine Redmayne
A layered painting with consequent texture. Essentially unplanned but pursued until I felt it was right. Size 5×7 inches (12.5×18 cm).
Church ruin
© Catherine Redmayne
Another very small experimental piece in mixed media. Only 4 inches square (10 cm square). Rather accidental from start to finish but I was pleased with the colours.
Blue energy
© Catherine Redmayne
An energetic scribble over a base colour-field painting. Great fun!
6×6 inches (15×15 cm) on heavyweight watercolour paper.
Tau crosses
© Catherine Redmayne
A tiny mixed media picture with an unusual form of cross. The design was taken from a very old pew-end carving seen in a Cornish church. The image is 4×4 inches (10×10 cm).
Red sky at night
© Catherine Redmayne
Hope the shepherds enjoy it! An abstract of red and blue measuring 7×7 inches (17.5×17.5 cm) collaged onto heavyweight watercolour paper.
Inward looking, outward looking
© Catherine Redmayne
A collage with one of the prepared papers featuring a blind contour drawing. Image 8.5 inches square (21.5 cm square). Lightweight decorated papers on heavy watercolour paper.
