Approach

painting abstract urban landscape figures



Acrylic on board 7.5" x 7.5" £85 (British pounds) plus postage & packing (£3.50 to UK; £7 to rest of world)

Can't think of anything to say about this except I loved painting it. That's about it really.

Love these last two paintings Sheila, seems you are pulling apart the vocabulary of reality. Yep and Sandra Floods blog was pretty good.

Hi Simon, that's an interesting phrase - pulling apart the vocabulary to get at the meaning beneath. Yep, I suppose that's what I'm trying to do.

This feels related to your Addis experience...is it? I'm drawn to the simplicity and rich color...getting close to an abstract expressionist quality.

Don, thanks for your comment. The rich colour is I think something that has been "festering" in my head for ages. Giving myself permission to use it is amusing to me (I still love Hammershoi!). As to the Addis connection, I must admit it wasn't a conscious one but I'm finding that most marks we make have their root somewhere in our past. We just don't always realise it.

Thanks Linny - I'm intrigued by "Pueblo spirits" - what is that?
