Face of man

Experimental painting of a man's face with a monotype drawing mounted on a textured background by Catherine RedmayneExperimental painting: blind contour drawing of a man’s face done with monotype and then mounted on a textured background.

Grebe

Grebe

One of those splodges of paint which suddenly turned into a recognisable bird! I couldn’t bear to add to it in case the grebe disappeared again. Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm). Just another for the drawer…

Sweet sugar dumpling

A leaping joyous fat lady
So I’m fat – I don’t care!

One of a recent series of figures outlined with heavy black. I love the way the bright colours look like traditional stained glass. I remember dancing to this song way back… Didn’t want to offend with the real title!

Lady in orange

head of woman with orange dress on blue backgroundA new addition to my monoprint portraits. This woman was on a multi-coloured collaged background but that had been painted out so the orange is set starkly against the light blue. Mixed media work with collage. Image size about 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Turkish bath

A nude woman has a vaguely oriental background!

Drawing after a sculpture by Frank Dobson. Collage of decorated papers including the monoprint of the drawing – it might be inside a tiled Turkish bath. Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Phyz

Phyz or face

A collage of decorated oriental papers with the barest minimum of line-work to show the face. Image size 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm approx). The original drawing may have been after a tribal mask – but I can’t recognise it now! It was fun to do anyway.

The green plume

Melancholy woman in elaborate hat
