River Stories 1, oil, Conté & etching on Mylar
I don’t know where this might end up (messier, maybe – it seems too colourful, it bores me …) but it is what I’m wrestling with at the moment. Well, we’ve been wrestling for a while. Slippery fish.

Untitled. Oil, conté & graphite on Mylar 20″x24″. (These paintings always look so much better in real life, I think.)
A winged thing that is tied to water. Inspired from bits and pieces from the river shoreline, things now lying around the studio.
A studio view with most of the mess unseen.
(The other painting was posted previously here.)

(Untitled. Oil, graphite and Conté on Mylar)
It’s the first day of summer here and it feels like a true summer day with gently swaying grasses in the sunshine and strange insects in the garden.
[The first image is a painting/drawing in progress (I never know whether to call my pieces paintings or drawings – I guess they are both) and the other two images are photographs made with camera movement.]

A rare draw portion of Draw and Shoot…I posted an unfinished version of this previously but I think I’ve finally finished fussing with it.

Well, thankfully they are not literally crawling around, more like just hanging around not really posing any threat.

A painting in progress. Oil, Conté and Mylar on board. Not the best photographs but you get the idea…it’s what’s happening around here today…
These are older paintings I have done that have already migrated to new homes but in thinking of the changing weather and seasons I thought I would post a few. Last day of August! Enjoy the long weekend.
