'Flying South'

Well....not me, actually, just 3 new art works for the 30 x 30 [cm] exhibition at the Brunswick St Gallery in Melbourne - opening Friday 13th at 6pm if you're in the area.
I started with a delicious unresolved messy bit of white watercolour paper, went to town with my inks, rust paint and dyes, letting my brushes take a dance across the paper - no particular style or theme - just lovely mark making.
I chose 3 areas that seemed to work OK then cut them out and added a few details to suggest the theme that was evolving - boats.
...'Dry Dock'
'Moored'
'Low Tide'
...and some other favourite snippets that may or may not made it to a final image.

  1. Wow - I love the original big piece so much and couldn't imagine liking it cut up - what a shame. But then I see all the lovely bits and....I love them all. I have yet to cut up a larger abstract and isolate my favorite sections - I've read over and over how people do it - I might just go home and get those scissors out before I can change my mind! Thanks for sharing all your lovely images.

  5. I hope they enjoy their trip down south N - so much they don't come back! Looks like a bit of freedom on paper.

    Susan - the paint is Porter's Rust Paint - 2 parts - available from their store in the Valley, or from a paintshop in Coolum - great fun to use and it KEEPS on reacting!!!
