Behind the Screen ~ Step-by-Step iPad Drawings

January 28, 2012

I am going to be uploading several of my iPad drawings recorded step-by-step using the Brushes app. I hope you enjoy seeing the process of creation ~ As a guide, I try not to take more than 30 minutes, as these are supposed to be a fun, non-thematic ‘diary’ of my visual day, until I [...]

Finished work, and Sneak Peek

January 27, 2012

Anatomy of a Memory ~ A Work in Progress Origins This painting was created with many many layers of translucent oil paint (glazes), over a base layer painting. Some of the underlying layers were so lovely that I had to be pretty bullish to cover them over, but I did, and I am glad I [...]

This Has Got to Mean Something.

November 21, 2011

I took this photograph on the beach of the Thames in London. I thought it was a curious, small place to put what seems to be a tag. It has got to mean something, but I don’t know what it is.

Planet Earth Is Blue and There’s Nothing I Can Do

November 19, 2011

This image reminded me strongly of the David Bowie song with the line “Planet Earth is blue / and there’s nothing I can do”. A good alternate title might be “A Sense of Perspective”.

November 18, 2011

Artist and twitter-friend Janet Vanderhoof recently asked me to write about my experience with a year of iPad drawing, and what insights I’ve learned into my own art along the way. You can read more about it on her website….
