Robin Brienne asked if I would agree to a short film. I was happy to help and the result makes me smile. I hope that it has the same effect on others. All kudos to Robin and his associates.
oil on paper. 86x67cms oil on canvas. 160x114cms The title for this post is just the title. I am always looking at the changing garden throughout the year but the relation to the thing seen is tenuous because it is the paint which intrigues me more. Paint is mixed on the surface of the painting support, or used straight from the tube, layer upon layer. It is difficult to not see these as landscapes but the terrain is in the paint or rather, that is the aim.
untitled. oil on canvas. 100x100 cms my wife tells me that if I walk amongst trees and photograph trees and think about trees then it should not be a surprise to paint them. It is however only the start: I have tried to paint them out over these last months but they only seem to assert their presence more. I have mentioned my interest in Altdorfer, the way that his painting of the forest dominates the action. Here I was hoping that I could make the paint be the action and to function like a curtain that with exposure, would reveal itself.
