Project update



I have been working on a few initial responses to the Adelsteen Normann painting.
With my main focus being collage last year, I am trying to improve my techniques. When collecting all my 'bits and bobs' I began to notice that it was the scraps of old paper and the left over cuttings that seemed to be the hidden gems. I have managed to keep a box of rubbish from an entire years worth of work at college, so I have a lot to play with.



I have also been on the hunt for some breathtaking scenery that is personal to me, and I have to say it didn't take long for me to find the perfect place.

My boyfriend's parents live out in the countryside and they have wanted to extend their B&B business by building two eco friendly lodges at the bottom of the field. I was asked to do a painting for each lodge, of a local view. They live up near the Yorkshire moors which is my favourite place to go; there are some beautiful spots.

Here is the first painting I did on display.



Now that it is time for me to do the second painting I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to combine it with my summer brief. I have picked a particular view that I find overwhelming...


..But for now I am going to continue with my responses to the Adelsteen Normann piece, so watch this space.
