"Number 7"

So now this is the latest to come out of my Sparkenhoe Studio. It is titled " Number 7 " (all the work produced solely from this studio only bears a number as the titles were beginning........always have actually.......to threaten being better than the actual work ! he he he). It is mixed media on canvas, 50 x 50 cm.  My old Uni chumly, Maz, posts some really interesting photographs of herself on facebook, so , not being one to waste anything, Im using some of them as inspiration for my artwork. It isnt a portrait, as facially it looks nothing like her, but she was holding TWO glasses (why?) and wearing that interesting dress/top. I like round things so the dots immediately captured my attention. I dont know why I like round things, but I do. Anyway, it shows how Im loosening up, not worrying about draughtsmanship but embracing quirkyness. Allowing the inner me to express something about self  and, indeed, subject. I may transfer this style to capturing buildings in my local at some point too. I feel I am making headway, progress, and am not too far from realising my signature style.

However, that may take some time so, while we are waiting remember to Love All, Hurt None, and Walk in Soft Shoes.
