Goult

Wall in Goult (oil on canvas 80cm x 40cm)


This another composit painting. It's based on a couple of smaller paintings and drawings made earlier.  It's an interesting problem having strong horizontal forms. I have invented or moved the vertical elements to make it work as an image.  It feels a bit like musical notation to me, developing a rhythm across the surface.

Landscape painting from St Saturnin les Apt

landscape from st saturnin les apt (oil on linen 50cm x 50cm)


Like the previous post, I made this painting in the studio as a composite of several small paintings I made from the same place. It's built up of several layers, some thin paint, some thick, making decisions about what to keep as I go through. 
 Happy Christmas / Happy Holidays!
