A new painting I’ve been working on.

Can you see what it is yet?

Abstracted or distracted?
A new departure! Hoping to find extra painting delights in this layered way of working based on the real but ending up far from it. This painting on panel is for sale on Singulart.
Blowing in the wind…
Colours and flowers I love. For sale on Singulart.
All wrapped up
Landscape in purple and green
A painting completed recently – for sale on Singulart.
Sort of Sandwich
Not intended (luckily!) to be a true picture of the quaint little town, this detail refers to one of the many churches, the river and boats. I loved my visits to the town and the many characters I met. The wonderful individuals, news and gossip always reminded me of those famous residents of another of the Cinque Ports: Mapp and Lucia and their doings!

The gardener
Marinegate
In rich dark colours this is a kind of version of the marina at Brighton! It would not recognise itself.
Covering her modesty
Thinks: ‘Oh dear! Maybe this dress is a bit bold.’
A new year – and hope springs eternal…
Time to start choosing which pictures to enter in the digital round of some exhibitions. Which pictures, which exhibitions, how much can I afford?
Hurrah! This one got into the RWS Contemporary Watercolour which opens 2nd March at Bankside, London, through 14th March. (Watercolour is loosely interpreted in this competition!)

The day the trees left
Sometimes artwork is disappointing and I threw this one away! But I like the idea and the title and one day will get round to using them again.
Haughty cat
Not this time – I walk away, head held high.
National Open Art competition
Wow! I have been shortlisted for NOA 2017. The second round is later but in the meantime there is the World Art Vote. You can vote for my picture from here.
If you would like to see other shortlisted work, go to this page. You can of course vote for several artists… but please do vote for me!
If I have asked you already elsewhere, sorry!
Not waving
I love this gloomy piece which evolved under my eyes. My visual memory was jerked by the beginnings of the hunched up figure and I found the image I recalled in a book about Gauguin (hero!) with a photo of a Peruvian mummy. I have always loved the poem by Stevie Smith – hence the title.
Maybe all the horrifying stories of drownings in the Mediterranean influenced me as well. We can never know all the subconscious themes.

Tower of Fools
The things in my imagined landscapes come from patterns and designs that I ‘find’ as the painting grows. I heard of the Tower of Fools at an exhibition at the Wellcome Foundation a while ago. Image approx. 10×8 inches (25.5×20 cm).
Come to Mama
You’ve seen silly – this is sillier!

We’ll follow you – but do you know where you are going? Life is like this. Just hope your leader has the correct destination.
