a bunch of drawings, I'm struggling to get my head around.
Trying to work out how they read, how they connect.
all are potential compositions on a fairly large scale.
"The Jaipur Express"
Based on a musical composition from my son Aydin. also containing a lot from my own experience in Rajasthan.
This is ready to be painted quite large, but before moving on, needs a covering of similar, but different colour variation.
"Supernatural in Trees"
Design for the website covering that specific topic.
Ephemeral beings that may or may not be there.
It could be tarted up and solidified on the laptop and to straight onto the website.
Or maybe not.
"Onomatopoeia"
as a draughtsman, the problem was to fuse the three elements, not specifically into one, but at least to make them read smoothly across the board.
I think I have the colour chart worked out, but the big job is sort out a tonal balance.

"Pipe Dance" (at Standing Rock)
Mainly derived via google of dancing Sioux Indians, with the odd slogan and as many spears and tomahawks as I could comfortably fit in.

| a solitary Joe |
The colour chart on the side, is an alphabet of hues that I thought I should be able to apply to the painting.
Near enough as high-lights.
"Dog"
Taken from a watercolour doodle, but now taking the form of a 2.D. papier- mache relief.
It seems to follow on from the scorpion I made from tree branches at the side of the drive at Shipping Hill.
"October Strings"
Put together from half a dozen doodles, plus added sketched information images of various string components in this composition.
With added colour from one autumnal photograph, containing a tree within trees.
"Light the Blue Touch paper"
Following various Facebook discussions With Alan Morris in particularly adlibbed format.
These two doodle sketches specifically attempted to illustrate the verbiage, which I cant at present find.
"King Phil & Queen Will"
a lost poster/painting for two old friends which actually got parceled up, then lost.
Taken and inspired by/from some medieval ironwork.
Originally "hacked" in an etching type way, now digitally "smudged"
