Every Which Way

Every Which Way, 40" x 40", acrylic on canvas

I titled this painting, "Every Which Way" because the painting almost worked from in every direction!  So a few abstracts for exploration and to increase the creative flow and now back to my Hornby/ seascape paintings.

Beach Play

Beach Play, 24" x 30", acrylic on "
This is a repost of a painting posted a week or so ago.  I hung it in the kitchen and realized over the week, whilst chopping onions and other kitchen tasks, that the painting wasnt quite "right" so by casually glancing at it over the week, i solved some painting problems.  Definitly a case of paying attention, by not paying attention.  I find the last 5 - 10% often the most challenging and have devised all kinds of tricks to "let it happen" rather than forcing...seems to work better and is much more pleasant.

So Tell Me Something 2

So Tell Me Something 2
36" x 36", oil on canvas, SOLD!
So yesterday i just had to paint in spite of shoulder pain and all the work I have been doing to rehab it, as life is a bit blah without painting, so i put this canvas on the floor in the basement, to see if a different working angle helps..I am not sure if it helped but it was an interesting excersize, much more active rather than standing, though limited to abstract.
