You look up to the blue of the sky, the towering buildings above, that patch of blue promises so many things

Portsmouth DLR
I worked at Portsmouth DLR (Land Registry) From 1989 to 2005. This was before I started my University studies,first the Access Course in Art and Design 2005-2006 the B.A (Hons) Fine Art 2006-2009, Graduating this year.
It was with some sadness that last week I heard that the Portsmouth Office of the Land Registry is to close with the loss of about 299 jobs, I still have friends who work there and so feel sad for them. I also would like to say how sorry I am to all the x colleagues who are still comming to terms with the news.
The office is due to close in 2011 along with other offices in the south- east like Tunbridege Wells for instance. all these place have a history and expertise yes and community.
So I would just like to take this oppurtunity to wish my ex colleagues well for the future.

Not Sure Painting....
This painting is at its very raw stage and I am not that sure about really but thought it would be fun to show, I may disregard it and start again but it has something ,just not sure what yet.
Curve Painting
This is more of a painting than a study and I like it. Blue being a colour I like. I think it works well

Painting In Progress Mied Media (18insx15ins)
This painting is not finished I can see where it might be going but it is taking on a life of its own.
I have used Acrylic,bits of paper and light cardboard, there are some Loo rolls the bit that the loo paper surrounds and some tippe, the tippex came in useful for the waves and a bit of mark making though you have to be careful and not breath too deply, the things we do for Art
As said do not think its finished...

On The Beach By The Sea with thanks to @lisbet33
On the beach by the sea
here we stand,
watching the waves
the seagulls gliding in the air.The sound of waves
on the shore,
the senses alert to touch and feel.The salty smell of the sea
a breeze picks up then dies away.natures place
beside the seaThanks to Twitter friend @lizbeth33

You can paint on the silver side and this gives good effect if you scrape away and in the sunlight it glints nicely.

Photographs of Henri Matisse
Centering
yesterday was a calm day and though cloudy a good day for reflections on the water.
I like it when the tise is either just on the way ou or on the way back in between time.
Then as this is a special place it happen, very subtle a moment of calm, the universe speaks and you are now, a shimmer a part of nature and of now.
This happend all to briefly yesterday at this special place for me it is quick though a sort of leveling out, it probably lasts now more than 60 seconds
Hope this makes sense to anyone who may read this!

Peering Through
There is nothing like peering through things to get a different perspective.
The first shot is of Warblington Castle across the fields followed by Warblington Church from about the same vantage point.
The last should really belong to my urban series of photos of everday but his post is about a theme of peering through it fits in, Ilke chain fences lots!

Itroducing Curve Cards
! like these!
I painted them on mini playing cards some of the playing card is still showing through so it becomes a bit of a oollage.Think the idea works though the series is not about playing cards as such just the patterns the combination can make

More studies for my curve theme though not really sure what to call them yet These were done on ordainary cartridge paper (A3) using acrylic washes
It wants to become a wave type thing though the idea of a axxis is at the back of my mind

Untitled
We see the world in the round well at least we should do. The earth is a globe and the earth we walk on is all around us 360 and yet we do not record thing that way we want to put them in suares like pictures or TV or the computer screen.
These paintings are trying to convey this idea that is why they curve a bit, well it is a idea I may be developing and thinking about!
they were painted onA2 cartridge paer mixed media but mainly acrylic washes
