tidal tales …

still painting these small Saltmarsh works… these two are the latest.

I’ve tried working them on stretched canvas, but so far I prefer the way the grain of these canvas boards gives a broken texture to the colour and the light. (The slight pink cast in bottom right of the photos is due, unfortunately, to the bright pink case on my iPad which I took the photos with!)

I’ve enjoyed painting a few more of these small abstracts this past week, just in time for Norfolk Open Studios this coming weekend. I’m opening 23, 24, 25 and 30, 31 May up in my eyrie – my hayloft studio in Harpley, West Norfolk.

If you’re able to visit you can see them in the flesh! This link will give details and map.
