Trying Out Ideas

Asperatus clouds

I stepped out the front door last evening and noticed the clouds glowering above. I raced back for my camera and took photos. A friend also noticed and told me in an email conversation that they are called Asperatus. A name that is not yet official, but sightings help.

Zea's parts So Far

Sketchbook Pages

Today these came out of working in a book I've turned into a sketchbook. I've found ways to go on in further work.

A Suite of Z's

These paintings are up on The Wall at the Station Gallery in Yarragon from Wednesday the 3rd until the 28th. There are a few other paintings with them. and in the Gallery some interesting work from the group Artists on the Move.

The Search for Delight

Over the last two days I've taken a little time to find something delightful where I was. The other thing happening is that I'm trying to use my zoom lens in the prime position as my first choice so that I move my feet rather than the lens.

Painting of the Moment

 Sunshine on the Washing a work in progress. I've tweaked my egg tempera medium so that, hopefully it won't crack and fall off the paintings

 Underneath is an elephant for colouring in. Not something that I'm interested in doing.

Once upon a time this was a landscape for an exhibition. The egg tempera didn't respond well to something [This doesn't happen all that often]. So I've scrapped it off and begun again.

 

Grass Suite

I just love the massed dead grass.
