263 - THE QUIET CORNER - DAVE EDWARDS - COLOURED PENCILS - 2009

This is a stylised coloured pencil drawing of our garden. The brick plant trough was built by my wife, but it’s straight – I bent it for effect :)

Okay – not completely coloured pencil – I used blue acrylic paint for the sky :)

The cat is a stylised version of our elder cat Mao (rhyming with cow and not with mayo).

    I love the warping

  • BLYTHART replied

    Many thanks … but please don’t call me a warped artist :) I sometimes call it bendy art .. but please don’t call me a bent artist either :) Seriously – I appreciate your comment – After years of doing straight drawings involving austere buildings, I developed a penchant for bending lines … I feel it makes them cosy :)

  • BLYTHART replied

    Glad you like it. If you can find a soft cushion for your chair, feel free to view it for as long as you wish :) Excuse my cheekiness; I am in a cheerful frame of mind today.

    your art always breaths of life,even wall move as you look at a dave art piece-its always wonderful-and colors make a attention yelling,voice saying, look ar this,art!!

  • BLYTHART replied

    The same can be said about your work my friend. I like realistic art, but I leave it to those who can do it better than I could. I love bending lines and occasionally using deliberately inappropriate colours to inject life into a scene and I think you do too. I think we both have moments when we like to startle people by doing “look at me” pictures :)

    lovely flowing piece of art Dave…I really do like the way you draw your lines and your colour choices. It really is a lovelu peaceful quiet corner and now I know how to pronounce Mao (I did think it was mayo oops)...another wonderful piece Dave.

  • BLYTHART replied

    This is funny but true. Mao went missing oncve and we were at the door shouting, “Mao” when a little voice below us called out, “Mao, Mao” and it was Mitch. In all fairness, Mao is the only word he can say, but it made us smile that day :) Mitch went missing once and Mao disappeared, returning an hour later with Mitch trailing behind him. We are convinced he was looking for little Mitch.

    Lovely work Dave and I think a curvy plant trough would be really cool in real life. lol.

  • BLYTHART replied

    You’d love the work of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona.

  • BLYTHART replied

    Thanks Angela. I sat in our garden and did a stylised sketch of the new plant trough my wife just built. Mao, one of our two cats, is the model for the cat.

    Somehow this gets me thinking of Alice in wonderland and the cat that conceals itself in the tree; although the cat here is not in a tree…

  • BLYTHART replied

    I have tried seing this afresh through your eyes and you know – I agree. Our Mao (the model) has a bit of a Cheshire cat expression here :) Thanks.
