The Passion of the Paint

-
Here's an interesting short film about the artist Naomi Frears in Cornwall talking about her passion for painting. I found it inspiring and so I thought I'd share it here :)

Oh Jess, this is so inspirational. I am so glad you found her and this video. I love how she speaks about her future and the direction of her work...what she feels and thinks, but remaining open to the possibilities. I also am inspired to pull out those sketchbooks and see what hits me, you know? I am not good with going back to see from where I have come, but that is important to jog the memory for some new stuff, don't you think?

So are you going to pull out the canvas again? :) I can't seem to give them up. I suppose I am not ready, yet.

Thanks again, Jess for making sure I see this...your intuition was spot on about me and this video.

Dreamlike Painting

-

I like to make pictures that aren't a conventional landscape, so that the ground and the sky are interchangeable, dreamlike, floating. These paintings are done using my Tombow dual brush pens, the watercolour effect is made by adding water to the pen marks with an ordinary brush. This next one below is painted in watercolours and the black is done in waterproof drawing pens. Next is a picture made with my coloured pencils that I've had for ever. They might be ancient but they still do the job!  Oh. And my black pentel brush pen and a gold gel pen. I love a bit of gold. And finally here's a cute little cucumber that Middle Daughter grew in her garden. It looks like a lemon doesn't it? It's about the same size as a satsuma and I think they're called lemon cucumbers but let me assure you they taste like a very tasty cucumber. Have a great week!xx

All Change

-

That's what they used to call out on the bus after it had broken down, "All change!" and then my heart would sink as I realised I'd have to wake up from my daydream and comfortable position, to shuffle along the aisle of the bus with all the other people then stand in yet another cold queue for the next one, knowing there'd be a fuss with the new driver over whether my ticket was valid ot not. "Where is my ticket??!!" There's been a lot of change in my house this week. Now my son's left for Uni, his younger sister has her beady eye on his old bedroom! There's been sanding and sweeping and scraping and cleaning. And lots and lots of painting as it begins its journey to a new personality. I shall keep you posted with the results!
