a recent abstract piece (acrylic on canvas 80 x 80cm), very much influenced by memories of the Grand Canal in Venice in May this year.

Venice… seeing red
I’ve been living with these two canvases of Venice-inspired imagery for weeks now, waiting for the impulse to take them further and ‘finish’ them…

… but although I know the second one needs a few more touches of paint, I’m inclined to wonder if they might actually stand as they are …
i initially intended the red to act as an under painting, but I like the way it reflects how I see Venice… its passionate past and bloody history.
Both paintings are 40 x 40cm, acrylic/mixed media on canvas.
up and running …
Here I am at last, captured in the lovely ‘new’ studio …
and ready for action.
It now has a good run of worktops and cupboards, some cracking drawer units from ikea (ideal for paper and prints) and a nice little space for a chair and my books where I can enjoy a brew.
We got the press up here today, since these were taken, so I can get practising on my collagraphs soon, hopefully!

You can see where we’ve covered up the interesting roof with dust sheets in an attempt to prevent any bits dropping from the roof space. It also helps the space to heat up a bit (via a calor gas heater).
It’s all a bit clean and uncluttered just now … but that won’t last long!
