This page showcases the works that stand out for me this year. As the year progresses, pieces will be added and, as I set an arbitrary limit of four a year, some will be taken away.
Links to my selections for previous years are at the bottom of the page.
Green Room, Pink Man
One
of a number of prints that are based on life drawings I did last
summer. The drawing was done quickly with brush and ink after
I had worked the pose to death over the previous hour
or so. His pose is so imperious, accentuated by his elevated
position. The plant was there, too. Though a much more sorry specimen
than I show here. It needed to be more robust to balance the
male figure.
Your Country Needs You (Amelia)
I was thinking about not including this in the Selected Works section. Not because I didn't think it was good, but because it's small. Small in scope. But I do like it and spometimes jokes have to be told. So there. We shall wait and see if it gets bumped off as the year goes by.
The first of a series of what is five at the moment of "Heraldic Naomi" prints. They are all 12cm x 8cm, made to enter for the Leicester Print Workshop exhibition of small prints. Based on lfe drawings and sometimes tweaked to give a more heraldic attitude. Don't know yet if they'll be successful, but I enjoyed the idea so much I doesn't cyare.
This could be the first of a series of views of Rugby, with added people, kind of vaguely people I know, or I've seen about town. I've got a few ideas in my head, so I'll have to see if they come to anything. It;s a bit like the flowers I did a few years back, taking on the more nostalgic or idealised views we have of the town. There's a slight instability to this which reflects what I'm feeling right now. That everything is slipping away... and will end up in a heap at McDonalds Drive Thru.
