Summer nights

Here’s an attempt at painting an idea.

In the first one I got carried away and left out an element.

In the second, I faithfully copied reality.

In the third, I went with the idea.

Which one works best?

Kitchen Table

I’m not going to insert an essay on William Scott here. But here’s one from the Guardian.

Looking at his paintings at the Tate and reading around the subject I was caught by his referencing of domestic interiors. Which made me think of a kitchen I know well and enjoy being. I expect the people who know this kitchen will recognise it. I spent a few days trying to paint what it meant rather than what it looks like. Lets hope now I’m back in London i wont forget ALL about it.

Cornish sketches

I try and take a sketch book everywhere with me. Some times i get caught out and have to buy a new one… and a big fat soft pencil. Don’t worry I actually managed to fill up quite a few pages all at once.

William Scott – Tate St lves

As i’ve been away so long, setting up someone else’s blog I’ll stick these notes here for the moment, and hope that I’ll be able to come back with some more thoughts later
