³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

the last 2 weeks at the ness art group I had a go at painting, acrylics, from a photo, I keep pushing on and I feel quiet pleased as for me I think it is not too bad, for me you understand, there are others who can do much, much better,

these photos are of a sunset over Tarbert Harris one summer evening in 2000/01 as that is when I lived on Scalpay and this was the view from my house, fantastic isn’t it I have never lived anywhere before with such amazing fantastic views, the first one is the one I used as a source for the painting,


now the painting, ofcourse with my limited knowledge and lack of great numbers of paints I didn’t have the right yellow, I needed a Yellow Ochre, so this is how it looked when I came home from the meeting last week,

this is later in the week and this is as far as I could go without the yellow ochre,

I got a tube at the Colour Factory Friday, the last one phew, this is with the right yellow now and it is as far as I am going with the painting, no Turner I know but for me it is better than I think I can do so I am happy,

Now I am going to have another go to try some ‘bleeding’ I’ve been told I should let the colours ‘bleed’

And sorry not to have posted any textile stuff, I have done some, done my jan journal, I have been playing with Tyvek, never used it before but this melting can become a bit compulsive!!!! must take photos and write about it,
