I spent four days at Paintbox School of Art in a collage workshop tutored by Kitty Jones. This concertina mixed media drawing with collage was one of my final pieces. We managed to work outside every day despite the vagaries of the Scottish weather!
The following week, I spent three days oil painting en plein air with Damian Callan’s group. The sun shone every day! I made three paintings, two still to finish, but this is finished and definitely the best one.
Another oil painting added to my shop. Fish Shacks. Oil on mdf board, unframed. 40cm high x 50cm wide. £100. Free delivery Edinburgh.
My paintings are often made en plein air, especially the oil paintings. They often relate to the sea. Sometimes I include found objects in the images or paint on found boards. These first two were painted during a visit to Port Seton, East Lothian and a stay on the south Kent coast.
This painting was made en plein air at Port Seton Harbour in East Lothian, down the coast from Edinburgh.
Beachcombing finds are sometimes incorporated into work. Here the piece of timber resembled a boat. A found text and collaged screenprints were used to complete the assemblage.
