Art en Vrac 2011

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

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!

What is it about Bacon?

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.

Having two daughters under ten means you never run out of felt tip pens, and the inspiration which comes with it!
