Working with Charcoal

I have recently started drawing with charcoal and happy with the results so far. Using Charcoal pencil, charcoal dust, brushes, etc to create the feel and mood I am after. It's amazing how detailed you can work with charcoal.

I finally feel I am on a roll after struggling working out the medium for quite some time.

The caravan is based on an image from our trip to Denmark last year. 200mm x 150mm wide.

Paper Chase

In February Anita Traverso Gallery is showing selected work of artists working with paper. Six of my water colours of caravans are included.

Paper Chase is the name of the show and includes photography, sculpture and prints.

Paper Chase - Anita Traverso Gallery

A set of 6 framed colours have been send to Anita Traverso Gallery for the show: Paper Chase.

Starting in February.

Inspiring images from Holland/Denmark

What is it with abandoned caravans? No matter where you go in the world you can find them.

I came past this one, which was situated north of Copenhagen.

Also inspiring was a Gallery in a town called Enschede in The Netherlands. It was created on the site where they had a terrible fireworks disaster. Most of the area has been rebuild but in an a very cleaver way. Artists, architects were given the opportunity to work with the area and create something a bit more unusual then the expected developments. The Gallery is called Rozendaal 21, have a look at the link, http://www.21rozendaal.nl/.

It's heating up in the studio

Working on a set of 9 new canvasses at the moment. 15" x 26". Not huge but a follow up on the water colours I did for "Forgotten Places".

Just send 6 Framed watercolouls to Anita Traverso Gallery for the show: Paper Chase. Starting in February.

Intaglio Printing

19 x 7 cm, intaglio print

Here are 2 results of my Dry Point etching day in Kyneton at Lauristen Press. Its something I wanted to try for ages but never taken the time to do so. Just great to find a new medium and I am certainly planning to do more in the future.

New Website

Finally managed to finish the website. I have kept it pretty straightforward, no fancy flash or roll overs. Easy to navigate. A selection of previous work will be added soon.
