Breathtaking, Oil, on wood.
6ft high x 34 wide
This is the latest work. It is currently showing at the Library Gallery show till the end of the month. It is constructed of salvaged lumber, and painted in oil paint and tremclad. I used tremclad as it has a high glosss and comes in small cans so not a lot of waste. Trying to do works from salvagable materials. It is based on a poem Maria wrote last year, she and two friends spent most of the last night at summer camp on the end of the dock. Which ended as the sun came up.
Well summer is ending this passed week has been windy brisk and rain.
But it was a great summer!! got in a great camping trip with Maria, in july which was spent drawing and painting. we went to bark lake, exploring the south west sidde of the lake. Next year we are talking about doing the north east side which is an archapeligo of small islands.
The Thaksgiving weekend a group of us went to a small lake north of bon echo P.P ..... the weather was fantastic, shorts and t shirts all weekend and no buzzing skiters!! did a lot of painting just relaxing, camping with friends is good, chores are shared and it was a relaxing weekend.
On the studio front things are going well working on new stuff and trying to finish the all the ones in "progress".. as a number of paintings that are out in community are going to be swithch out at the end of november. its like having the kids come home some have been out for 6 months.
as for the market stall things are slow, sold a few but am getting a lot of positive comments and I will do the stall again next season.
Hope all are well .... Norman k.
