There’s a great selection of work on display from members of the group, including the following 5 pieces by me, so why not drop in and have a look if you’re in the area?

Thanks to a very generous invitation from Stuart Burne (seen in the photo below with 3 of the pieces) and the kind folks at the Roadking Truckstop Cafe in Holyhead, the following 5 pieces of work are on display for public viewing for the next couple of months, so why not drop in and have a look if you’re in the area? More details of the pieces can be seen in my shop as well as in any related articles at the bottom of this post.

New Painting: Counting the Steps (South Stack Lighthouse)

This was painted as a submission to the Ucheldre Centre‘s Art for All competition 2013. The colours are intentionally brighter and the rather idealised/dreamlike composition (which is actually a ‘collage’ of the key elements experienced when walking up and down the steps), hopefully gives more of a sense of the vertigo-inducing view. Also submitted were A Bigger Station and South Stack Lighthouse.

New Paintings: Southstack Landscapes

south-stack-lighthouse

The following two paintings were completed in fairly quick succession, again in a grisaille style. The first was painted from a very loose sketch carried out in a very fine drizzle, which soaked my sketchbook and obscured my view. The ‘fingers’ of rock reminded me of a giant’s hand as he was attempting to claw his way onto dry land and made me think back to tales of Irish giants read about as a child.
