Hue & Line


21-12-19.


Mainly a two nights away, concentrated sketch-book effort,

 even though this scheme did germinate earlier.

A quick couple of carols.

Ripened Cave,
Similar to the cave in  Chang Mai, that hosted the swallows during the day and the bats at night. And seemed to have strange untouched burial areas in amongst upper sub caves.




A Wisp Without a Whap.
A what does it matter crisis.


I know I am not important, but I have to carry on.




I am well & truly making this blog up as I go along.

Summer Abroad
Now that it’s grey winter, we are planning for our holiday in a spreading but clean, enclosed hotel in the warm abroad.



A stone boat for the cruise ship tours to come and gawp at in a small Greek  island called Simi, a haven for small motor boats.

Porto Colum
a stationary boat.

Prelude to a Farewell.

Similar in composition to the Black & White ~ Heaven & Hell that everybody copied off each other, in school as young teenagers.
This also started off as a tester for some of the thicker paintings starring in “Goodbye to Autumn”.




*


The Boatman
a final offering to the world of summer.



Terminal.


Yet more comfort in the darkness.



Striking a serious pose.


Friend or foe?



A simple but somewhat intense conversation punctuated with the odd
“Oh, I know”
With a promise to meet up again soon.
Had/ve to call a stop on this before it takes off from the rest!

Wish upon
a guilted spider star.
Strategic, but I try not to think about it.
Stars are pervading the whole of my universe.

Sunny Christmas Day



If I had a choice between snow at Christmas or sunshine
I would choose the latter.



a moorhen for Angie



a long way to be pulled back out from.

Lab in a Pointers stance
 - I do believe he is trying to tell me something.



a schools mural project that was successful & effective




wear from fast moving cycle traffic,
posted in the "involuntary painting group"



not sure where these two should end up,
or exactly what they were about.
I think maybe they ought to provoke so kind of narrative, but, as yet, I haven't found a box to fit them into.







a sentry for the locks



shared to the group "happenstance"
important to me because of it's profundity.




Stairway to Heaven
shared in Happenstance & Involuntary painting.




no crib for a bed,
Sutton Park.

happy wandering on a canal





Beautiful colours
on
a
Beautiful Christmas Day.

2b PNG stencil

Stencil

Forgetting where all the images came from, this part encompasses a broad selection. Using PNG images, I was able to superimpose one image upon another, making a hybrid.
It started as a device to move some of the pictures forward, keeping them fresh and sparing myself the smudges & over workings.

I called it “stencil” because the process is like using a stencil ~ only from the bottom up rather than the top down & leaving the stencil part of the operation intact.
