These are the first works completed since February this year.
There've been many failures, part technical, part finding a vision.
Technical issues revolved around the pigment, Prussian Blue from the 1960's where it was hard finding a consistancy when it dried. Sometimes it would go dark, sometimes light.
The vision was an entirely different brain hurter. Its all too easy becoming formulaic and the six completed the end of last year reached the limit. Using painting from my own references taken during storms wern't really working as the subject worked better as a photograph.
A trip to the Golden Triangle in Canada BC helped with the vision followed by seeing how the rocks just off the coast appeared move when seen from a certain angle.
The Golden Triangle is an area reserved for mining which has been going on since the 1800's. Stewart in BC is one of the access towns situated at sea level.
These works can be seen at Exhibitions Gallery Wellington
