INCEPTION IN THE NIGHT
Neither daylight, nor dream light

Like long drawn echoes afar converging
In harmonies darksome and profound
Vast as the night and vast as light
Colours, sense and sound correspond

And I dropped down. And down
And hit the world , at every plunge

THE INFLUENCE OF CECIL COLLINS

Cecil Collins was one of visionary artists following Blake and Palmer. All his life he followed a lonely path outside the modern movement in art. Yet the significance of his vision is increasingly recognized, especially among young people. And a number of his pictures hang in the Tate Gallery. In 1973, Cecil Collins was commissioned to paint an altarpiece for the Chapel of St Clement in Chichester Cathedral.</p>

PRUSIAN BLUE - One Blue to Rule Them All

 Brunswick Blue is a derivation of Prussian Blue

It consists of a mixture of an iron blue with a large amount of barium sulfate and is chemically similar to Prussian Blue created by accident in 1704. It has associations with Frankenstein and Prussian Blue salt could have played a fundamental role in the origin of life. Link

For the artist it offers a subtle yet wide tonal range with a tantalising range of greens, especially with lemon yellow.Although 300 years on there are many more blues, Prussian Blue still has qualities no other blue can quite manage.

PIGMENTS

Background.

Some years ago I salvaged some old pigments dating back over 100 years. These pigments are't made anymore, the two companies making them started in the 1800's and have long since gone. These pigments have a uniqueness in application and creation and take some years to develope for fine art especailly as each colour behaves differently.
