Blue Guitar



A triptych riffing on my son's blue Ashton guitar, this is three 30 x 25 cm canvases, painted in acrylic. I used runs and drips and spatters in the background, but treated the guitar itself in a  more deliberate manner.

"In My Shoes": Impromptu Foootwear Triptych


Here are all the "In My Shoes" paintings together. They work quite well as a triptych (three-part work), don't they?

Bromley Triptych becomes a Tetraptych

I decided that the leftmost painting in the work formerly known as "Bromley Triptych: Behind East Street" didn't quite work in the context, and that - obviously - what was needed was another painting. Either to replace the leftmost painting, or to go in between that panel and the centre one.

So here is the new painting, tentatively entitled "Corner":

It's not the best photograph in the world, but it'll do for now.

Some rather poor photographs of last night's work

Today was misty all day and I was at work for most of it, anyhow. And I haven't got the hang of taking decent photographs under domestic artificial light (flashes reflect off of the shiny surface of the paint). So, please consider these images to be temporary; better photographs, and a few extra words about the panting and/or the subject, will follow in due course.

Bromley Triptych: Behind East Street

And here they all are. I'm not 100% sure about the way that the last one fits in. Perhaps I will take it out of the triptych and use a different angle on that building.

The three paintings' original posts are:
The Little Theatre - The Back Stairs - Rear of 41

The Little Theatre: Part 3 of the triptych.

Here's the third and final part of my triptych. I'll put them together in a later post, but for now, here is The Little Theatre.

Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 cm (box canvas)

Rear of 41: Part one of a Triptych


The backs of buildings are often rather interesting, I think. Particularly older building in towns. The rear is where the building lets go a little, revealing something more of its function and, crucially, its character.
