Unit 5, Lesson 6, Ex. 4c
1. I live in a fairly small town and when we got our first set of traffic lights installed (in 2008 only!), we were all excited and it was the talk of the town. The first time I drove through them after they were installed, I felt it was really a sign our town was going up. I kept thinking about them and started to draw sketches and came up with my version of this special event. I called my painting "The Road Home". I was pleased with my painting and I painted it in black and white, and then put red in it for impact. I also won first prize in an art show I entered it in so that was really special. I sold my painting to a man that was visiting here after those terrible Victoria bush fires that took so many lives. He liked the name "The Road Home" and said the name would give him hope to rebuild his house, so that was really special.
2. I was on an abstract painting course on holiday and I had reached a point where I was blocked and not able to produce anything. I went for a walk down to the nearby beach and sat and watched a heron wading and feeding in the foreshore rock pools. Just watching 10 minutes of this free nature show lifted my spirits and inspired me. When I got back to the studio I started painting and this was the result. I love that no one can pinpoint exactly what it is or what it represents. The course tutor was lost for words and said she had never seen anything quite like it. I can see elements of the heron in it but that's purely accidental I think. Oddly enough we had also been discussing the work of abstract artist Patrick Heron that very morning so initially I called this my 'two herons' picture. I also love that it was painted in one go and without a moment's conscious thought.
3. “Guitar and bottles” was painted from life. It was an attempt to learn from the Cubist masterworks created by Picasso. I usually paint in an expressionist way, so this was a new style to try. I love the colours and the style of the work. Most of all, I enjoyed the process. I began with pasting on papers of various kinds, which was a child-like experience, much like being a kindergarten student! I liked the result. Results are often more interesting when I work quickly and instinctively. Then I went back and changed the guitar to primarily blue. I often use too many colours, and with the many lines and colours I often use, my paintings can be too "cluttered". When I look at it, I find it can hold my attention for some time. I always find some new thing to look at within the body of the work. I have it in my bedroom. Sometimes I move it to the hall.
