Acrylic on Canvas. 2.13m x 1m / Atmospheric nebulae of colour, energy patterns and black strings of complexity Original sold at Savoy Exhibition, Katoomba – May 08
Acrylic on canvas. This piece was literally painted either side of a storm, I began the base layers as the clouds welled and the thunder began to rumble, I let it dry as the storm passed, and then completed the final layers. I have decided not to make my paintings available on canvas, as they are already on canvas I feel reproductions should be on a different medium.
My intention when I did this painting was to take an everyday situation – like looking out for the post-man and turning it into a vibrant and alive moment in time! / No matter how small and trivial things may seem – there is always something else going on: one just has to take a look at that poor fish! I lik this painting, my friends say it makes them feel like ”...putting on their dancing shoes!” / (It’s a frustrating fact, but for some reason this painting just won’t upload to the right proportions – it’s living it’s title to the full – and just NOT conforming!) Please visit my blog for more of my artwork or for inquiries on original paintings if I still have them available.
Acrylic On Canvas
Acrylic on canvas 48” x 32” / My apologies for the low-res image, it is the only one I have of this painting. / The colours in the original are far richer and deeper in appearance than in this reproduction. (The painting sold ‘off the easel’ before I had time to photograph it properly) The reason for this lengthy description – which is something that I do not normally add to my work – is that, ‘Timeline’ has been entered into Mufas temporary gallery in order for critical assessment to be applied, and a decision made as to whether it is a Putist work. / Putism is a new art movement that is being created right here, right now, by artists from the Painters in Modern Times group in RedBubble. The Birth of Putism can be seen here / ............. The central form in the painting takes the shape of an (allegorical) trilobyte, an ancient creature that has lived for the whole history of our planet. Time moves from the top to the bottom of the canvas. The thin red line across the canvas represents the time that we have been on the earth. / .............. The creature is the first form that I thought of when I faced the newly primed blank canvas, while drawing in the form the idea ‘time’ entered my mind. The ‘human’ time element of the painting is also an allegory of the creative time of the artist, a brief but incandescent culmination of an immense background. We are all potentially greater than the sum of our antecedents. / ................ The painting developed a circularity of meaning, the creativity feeds and bleeds (blue) into the immensity and makes it even more immense, which feeds more creativity. The thin red diagonal line is the path through which we connect to our planet’s history and our own histories which then acts as a channel and route for our creativity. It is the ‘string’ that we have laid to find our way back. / ............... The future section at the base of the painting (the other side of the line) is painted as the mouth of a river seen from space. It represents the nourishment of the future by our creativity. I have tried to include in visual form the notion of a ‘future light cone’ ie. A space in which an action (light) entering at a singularity (the rivermouth) has a given future which expands in any unknown direction within the limitations of a conical form, the boundaries of which are prescribed by and expand over a given period of time (to infinity) – I feel that this passage of the painting did not work and almost destroyed the work at that point – I may well return to this theme as a starting point for a new work (see below) This is roughly how I work on all of my large paintings, with an instinctively conjured or remembered element (the trilobyte) and (sometimes) an allegorical theme, followed by a completely free and re-active building of expressive layers (random and controlled) until at some point……the painting starts to work. If it does not work (for me) then I destroy the image and begin again – the new work feeding from the carcass of the old one.
This quirky painting is of my cat Zorro and his favourite food, fresh snapper! Acrylic On Canvas, measuring 60×60cm. Just a fun painting I did earlier this year when I first thought that this would be a good time in the year when I made a decision to rekindle and embrace my creativity.
Ok… so I decided to work on an abstract I am more comfortable with. Unlike my last entry this is a representational abstract, acrylic on canvas, size is approx / 78cm x 62cm. Enjoy, smile and leave your feedback. Oh, one last thing, the detail of paint layering is totally lost in this digital image, but isn’t it always? Carms. x

Work exhibited in the Visual Arts Association Group Exhibition ‘Four Seasons’, held Cairns Regional Gallery, Qld. / The exhibition theme was inspired by the Vivaldi’s music ‘The Four Seasons’. Mixed media – archival black ink, acrylic, collage – paper painted, mono & screen-printed, drawing, photo; screen-printed cotton fabric, carpet material; on canvas. Background: I had been working individually on art compositions relative to my passion to interpret music, rhythm, movement and energy through the use of formal visual art elements ie. line, colour, tone, shape, texture and art media. The interpretation of any music requires one’s senses to hear and feel, absorb sound and energies, to internalize and contemplate, as apposed to recording information seen/perceived through the eyes from the physical ‘outer’ world. One has to create and interpret a visionary abstract, from a pure transitional and spiritual sensual state, from one’s own internal environment, the knowledge, understanding and experience one brings to canvas for the moments of manifestation. I jumped at the chance when this exhibition theme came up. Also I am much inspired by Kandinsky and his work, a long time favourite art philosopher and mentor. ....................................... /

/ This painting, is inspired by Turner’s painting of a slave ship in the midst of a typhoon, which he called a “Typhon”...Turner captured the horror of the event and terrifying grandeur of nature through hot, churning color and light that merge sea and sky. The critic John Ruskin, the first owner of Slave Ship, wrote, “If I were reduced to rest Turner’s immortality upon any single work, I should choose this.” / I chose to create an abstract work evoking the turmoil of the storm, not so much stressing the wind and the waves, but instead ferocity and power portrayed by the intense shock of deep red amid the more serene blues... “Aloft all hands, strike the top-masts and belay; / Yon angry setting sun and fierce-edged clouds / Declare the Typhon’s coming. / Before it sweeps your decks, throw overboard / The dead and dying – ne’er heed their chains / Hope, Hope, fallacious Hope! / Where is thy market now?”..J.M.W.

An acrylic painting on canvas 60cm x 30cm of the sun setting over the shadowed land. Night is approaching and the sun paints the sky with its sizzling rays in protest of its retreat. A painted memory of a romantic sunset. The sun is setting over the hill / the air is calm the night is still / It paints the sky with its sizzling rays / it retreats for the night until the next day….. Linda This was my first painting done on an easel my husband built for me. Featured in: MORNINGS AND EVENINGS, SUNSETS AND STORMS / MATURE WOMAN
A 40cm x 40cm acrylic painting on canvas of maple leaves. It was raining here one day so I grabbed my camera and went and took some photos of the glistening Japanese Maple leaves in our garden. I decided to paint them on a canvas painted black to show off their colours and add contrast and was very pleased with the outcome. Maple Leaves See the leaves on the maple tree / The rain has gone, they blow wild and free… / Sparkling raindrops settle and gleam / A delightful show that must be seen!
