Goult cemetery (oil on wood 25cm x 32cm)
The smaller image is a very fast small oil painting made on site, at the end of a mornings painting. The larger image is a painting of a painting, made in the studio. I'm not sure whether it's finished yet, as is often the case when I am in the studio. Paintings can rumble on for months. Painting outside I just run out of time, or it gets dark, or I get hungry - then I know I've finished. This particular place I think is very interesting because the space is very theatrical. It recedes in a very controlled way, giving a feeling of something mysterious, a narrative about to unfold.

It is amazing, if you don't mind painting in a cemetery...which I don't!
DeleteOne day I am going to have a go at that angel again...!
ReplyDeleteyes you should - but the trees are more interesting!
DeleteThe angel keeps "haunting" me, as long as I can't get the face right (I'm sure Syls knows what I mean), but I do agree, the trees ARE interesting and quite surprising in that environment. Maybe next summer!
