Beside the Lake – Oil Painting
From time to time I make the effort and paint a landscape which is ‘real’. This involves not adding or subtracting from a scene in order to make it fit an idealised version of the world. I find if I don’t make the effort to just ‘copy’ the scene and resist ‘converting’, the paintings begin to drift into the ‘dreamworld’. In this world objects and places are stylised and tend towards abstraction. The ‘real’ interpretation of the world is the common language, between the artist and the public, and this language needs to be updated from time to time.

Not sure if black backgrounds are for me. But had to give it a try.
Almost time for Art Club. I hope the kids are ready for some self-portrait drawing. Friday’s are kind-of rough. They are ready for the weekend and aren’t we all!!
