Creatively, for me this week has been rather a damp squib.
I have managed a little writing and research on ‘The Assassin’s garden’, but I’ve not had a very good week, one way or the other, and am just not up to writing a blog today.
So, the easy way out.
This is a somewhat random mix of some of my paintings from the last 10 or 15 years.
An oil pastel painting of a rock structure a few miles away from where I live – it looks to be a heavily abstracted painting, but is actually reasonably accurate!
A watercolour – chestnuts in autumn.
A chalk pastel – alongside a nearby river, The Medway, in summer.
Another oil pastel – a door in a house in a village in the Khumbu region, Nepal.
Charcoal on paper – Musician.
Acrylic on canvas – Dusk.
I think that’s suitably random; I’d be surprised if anyone could find a theme there, other than ‘paintings’.
Have a good weekend, everyone.

If I draw a stickman with a colored pen does it count as painting? That’s about my speed. Other folks are more talented…
I’ll also vote for the door painting.

I’d have to see the stickman, Dave. Who knows? The door seems fairly popular.

Sometimes it is like this, sorry for the bad week. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Positive vibes will make it better. And on the note your paintings are wonderful. I liked the door of Nepal, Charcoal musician and the chalk river. Why have you not finished the face of the musician? Without those details also the painting is awesome.

Thank you! I did a version of the musician with the details, but like this one better. I think the idea I had at the time was that the focus would be on the cello, and hence on the music, rather than the player.

It looks wow. Sure the sletch gives the attention on the cello. Lovely details. 👍🏼

I really like the chalk pastel of The Medway, Mick. The subtle stratifications of colour – a touch of Rothko, perhaps.
