Alice Coltrane
22 October 2012
New work with the brush - and brush-pen.
Work In Progress: 'Charlie Russell No. 3' 24x30", acrylic on canvas. |
Brush-pen sketch: 'Two Women'. One pen to do all these different lines and filling-in? Amazing. And it cuts the usual drawing time by half. |
A fast sketch in ink and chalk of a glass head wearing a hat by Dorothy Biddle, in her recent retrospective exhibition at Althorpe Gallery, Leamington Spa. |
Thanks for viewing and reading ;)

A new painting - 'Now' - October 2012
'Now' - October 2012'
Acrylic and ink on canvas, Oct 2012
The biggest canvas I have painted so far, and something of a breakthrough. For a while I have been hoping to bridge my abstract drawing and figurative painting; this feels like a step in that direction.
It is the result of a series of accidental or automatic decisions. It was not planned, but a lot of thought went into it as I was going along. It is an attempt at painting an image 'of the times'.
