Agota

The ground looks good to me. The overlaid shapes need a little work.

Dark Sky

Taken in a shopping centre car park for its lovely atmospherics.

Agostino

A similar process to Agostina, but with shapes to provide a contrast and a quiet conversation amongst the humming.

The Stages of Agostina

Six stages in the life of Agostina. Egg tempera on paper. Contemplation stage now.

The lovely sound of frogs.

Later bird call, a little hard to hear

More Tempera Sketches and a Transformation of Agneta

 I enjoyed painting these and I think they've gone as far as they can. My main hesitation about them is the white which looks a bit arbitrary. 

Taking my cues from the sketches I've reworked Agneta. There is further to go.

Sketching in Egg Tempera

Today I wanted to make a painting or two in the quick reflexive way that I do from time to time. A little while ago I bought some rice paper. Today I cut up some pieces about 20 x 13 cm approximately and got going. My starting point was a painting from a couple of decades ago. A linear skeleton and then filling in the ground in a loose way. With a bit of later linear working in. Egg tempera seems to go well on rice paper. The idea came from seeing pictures in Jodhpur that were egg tempera on rice paper. It must have been very thick paper because they used to polish them with stone, I think.

Agathon and Agneta

 Today just doing the computer playing of awhile ago.

Editing and flattening the ground.
