Busy week finalizing my new Artist Statements. Always hard getting it to read just right. Yes, have 2 new things on the go. To be shown together or individually. Live In The Moment is a small body of work - 5 paintings on Canvas with Japanese ink, water colour and acrylics. Also 2 fan shaped Shikishi (Japanese Board) in mixed medium. My second project, The Mortal Coil is a Japanese 2 Panel Screen, which can exhibit as an Installation. Mainly acrylics for that surface. I do have a wonderful iridescent blue pigment, which I’m excited to try.
The 5 paintings are completed in digital form, I find working in Procreate at the planning stage suits my digital background. All the colour decisions have been made, it’s really good knowing which pigments to mix. The predominate colour is blue, not sure who I’ve nicked that from, I’ve looked at a lot of art!
Just about to go on another holiday. Having dialysis on the Big Red Kidney Bus again. This time it’s parked at Phillip Island. Hoping for blue sky days so I can enjoy the ocean blue. My life certainly revolves around colour 💙
The Beauty Within, digital wip to be painted on canvas. Part of the Live In The Moment body of work.
