Twilit Woods

Keeping it simple this time.

In a Jungle of Islands

An accidental Archipelago of Three Lovers painting. I was just exploring a different way of painting, using acrylic medium for texture with light washes over it but every time I tried to get it to be something, it seemed wrong. So I made it this instead.

Summer, Sparrows Square

A familiar subject done in a slightly different technique, somewhat derived from my abstract explorations, though it would be hard to tell from this small photo. We'll see how things go from here.

Chelsea

I could have called this piece abstractnine since it's an abstract, or Falling with a View 4 since it clearly comes out of that series of paintings, but I opted instead for full disclosure. The grid system I used for this piece I roughly copied from the streets of the London districts of Chelsea and Brompton. Why? Just for the heck of it, I guess. This piece, is by the way, painted over abstracteight, so all in all I've been playing around with this board for three weeks or four weeks. I think I'm done with it.

Young Storms

Look-y here: a straight-up landscape. More amateur than impressionistic, even. It is based on an evening bike ride last week. I didn't have a camera along, so I've had to rely on my memory of the three rather awkward young thunderheads building in the twilit sky to paint this piece. The storms arrives several hours later.

Amongst a Drift

Back to the Archipelago because I still haven't a clue as to what to paint, and these pieces work well for a painting that I start just by starting to put paint on board and then just letting things flow.
