It’s been a while with no posts, sorry.
These are some 10-seconds skeches made during my exhibition at Art en Vrac in the summer 2011. 10 seconds is literally the time most people spend in front of an artwork. I wish it was a bit more…
Portrait of Denise (20cmx20cm)
Janice kindly invited me to an hour and a half painting session in her studio. A very interesting exercise, with only a stormy sky for our light source. The result is a bit rushed (1 1/2 hour is short, even for a small painting), but I do like the colours I found.
Denise (the model) is a yogi, and she was apparently managing to meditate with her eyes open – amazing to witness!
Sunday, a painting of Jesus on the Cross, made whilst listening to interviews of Francis Bacon, who had a habit of destroying a lot of his paintings.
Well, this one got the chop as well, the only thing about it was that falling tear, captured here.
Pineapple, bananas, oranges and red cabbage (21cmx30cm)
Having two daughters under ten means you never run out of felt tip pens, and the inspiration which comes with it!
une image “accident”, créée rapidement, dans l’instant.
les couleurs se mèlent sans lien apparent, l’oeil décide.
Lamp, clock, and a woman – 20cmx20cm
Why do summers have to be so hectic when you’re over 35?
Let’s have a glass of wine to reflect on this shall we? Oh and raise it to our one-hundredth-facebook-fan! 
more summer sketches & paintings to come…
5 paintings are on show at the annual exhibition held in the mairie. For the next two weeks they’ll be shown alongside 200 works by other fellow artists. Exciting stuff!!
A very civilized vernissage was conducted outside by the organiser Mr Dupuy, with kir and petits fours…
Another sunday, another painting competition, and YES, another prize!
This time the following painting of Sauveterre de Béarn is through to the Couleurs d’Aquitaine regional final next October in Montflanquin.
Good luck, little painting! Bonne chance !
