It's been an interesting session, with encouragement from fellow London Road Groupers Lynn and Catherine to go bold and step out of my comfort zone.<br />
<br />
I was trying to bring some of the strengths of my life paintings to an accurate portrait - to add interesting colours and patterns which are not necessarily in the original scene, so to make the painting more than just a copy of life, to take it beyond into a more constructed painting.<br />
<br />
This has resulted in some very bold areas which speak to each other from one side to the other, with flowing lines and diagonals which take the eye around the painting. I wanted a very detailed figure to play with flatter areas of colour and pattern, not trying to make everything three dimensional and 'real'.<br />
<br />
My daughter is very happy that I put the hearts on her socks!<br />

It's oil on canvas, approx 1'x 2' in size.<br />
<br />
I learnt a lot painting this, challenged by a busy, distracting background on the reference photo, challenged to make flatter areas interesting through paint and, as ever, challenged to bring together an accurate likeness through expressive marks. I'm happy with the result and so pleased that the boy's grandmother, who commissioned me, was blown away by it, followed up with his parents who received it as a present.<br />

The exhibition was officially opened by Steve Alliston representing the Jubilee Initiative, the collection of charities to which commission on sales will be donated. There was a great turn out for the private view, with many friends and family attending. </div>
<br />
Adventure is open until 22nd December. We hope many of you will have a chance to stop by and have a look. We will post more pictures of the work in coming days.
<br />
<br />
Finally, from all of the other artists: a big “Thank You” to Sheri. Without her vision, enthusiasm and sheer hard work, this exhibition would never have happened.<br />

Back in the spring Kat, one of our London Road Group, volunteered to sit for one of our Saturday life drawing sessions. I liked the pose so worked it up into a finished picture. Oil on canvas, 60cmx80cm.<br />

I've been a bit remiss in posting work over recent months. With our exhibition fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to start posting pictures of some of the new work I'll be showing. This first is a set of pictures inspired by the trees in winter on Ashdown Forest.<br />

Not naturally a horse enthusiast, they've been a challenge which has been at times rewarding but at others much less so! So, back in the comfort zone, I'm working on a new portrait of my daughter, reclining. I've just spent a couple of hours on it so far, mapping it out, drawing in the bare bones of the composition to get the proportions right. Many more hours to go, but it's good to be starting something human!<br />

There are a lot of difficult areas that aren't really explained properly in the sketch, but hopefully the lights and darks that come into the painting will answer any questions. This is oil on canvas, about a metre wide.</div>

I always feel there should be a complete embargo on mentioning what I’m working on, publicly, or showing work in progress. I always fear that the recipient may find out, however random or unlikely that may be. So, what may look like a month of inactivity has actually been a period of solid painting. For the last month I’ve been hard at it, working on two portraits, brothers, as a surprise birthday present. Here are the finals - both oil on canvas, 10 x 8 inches, painted from supplied photos.<br />

As soon as I had printed all of stage 6, I realised I'd forgotten to put on all the blue that I needed. So stage 7 has just a bit more ink (nearer the top of the image).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
