Winter Series – post 7

Today’s paintings – ‘Home, Moonlight’ and ‘Skating’, for the Winter Series. Exhibition opens in just five days – all info Here

I’m almost there with ‘Sea, Storm’ below, which needs a bit more work, but all completed paintings are now in the ‘Artworks’ gallery. I altered ‘Red Velvet Dancing’ a little (also below)- taking out the second figure and adding some more impasto highlights to the dress to show reflected firelight.

 

 

 

 

So that’s now just two paintings to finish, then the series is complete! Atzi has also tweaked the short music pieces to his liking, as mentioned each painting comes with a CD of all 12 music pieces.

‘Sombre Constellations’ has already sold, to a former buyer and friend in Australia, it’s a great home for the painting to go to, not just because Linda Cairnes is a talented painter herself, but because I think ‘Sombre Constellations’ perhaps has something of the Aboriginal ‘dreaming’ to it! All completed paintings viewable on ‘Artworks’ in menu above.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the paintings, the exhibition, or would like to buy a painting or print – rose.strang@gmail.com

Winter Series – day 3

More work on paintings for the Winter Series (my upcoming exhibition, all info here)

I’m quite happy with the one above, a few more details needed but it begins to capture the mood of Atzi’s first music piece. The following three are in various stages of progress.

 

 

 

 

The one farthest left is almost there, the one in the middle has pleasing elements but the upper half needs resolved. The one on the right is basically some mangled paint, but it has lovely textures and I know I can work with that.

I completely painted over the first two from a few days ago, I think they were more about getting paint on to wood – psychologically it’s encouraging but I wasn’t happy with them. Then I had an amount of chaos to distract me as I’m getting my open fireplace sorted out. For budget purposes I’m going for a medieval bare brick look which is actually really pleasing!

Here are all four works in progress together …
