More digital experimenting

I really liked the way my sky came out at tate modern, (post on this blog:  http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5666531142704615592#editor/target=post;postID=46638880365825247)   so I thought I would try another one - sky landscape - from imagination -ie no photo reference.  Much harder.  Trying to capture layers of sky and atmosphere.  Won't finish this one, but will keep trying.  If I get it right, I will try with watercolour or other media.



Messum's Gallery talk by David Tress

Just when I am trying to decide if  I could leave London, I get an invite to a talk at Messum's by an artist I don't know takling about 40 years of painting - looks exciting - love the green pic at bottom and will be interested to just how the paint goes over the edge of the paper - almost looks like something you would do in Photoshop using background pattern as a brush but it's not.

You can see more of his work on Messum's site (great gallery in Cork St behind Royal Academy)  http://www.messums.com/project-inventory/332.
