I’ve bought six new IKEA glasses but one of them got broken when I washed it for the first time. Of course, I wouldn’t just throw it away, as well as my daughter couldn’t throw away a Camellia blossom she has found fallen at the ground two days later… / I believe these two imperfect subjects made a perfect combination. What do you think?

Uploaded to celebrate my sale of Faded Rose which is one of the relics of this arrangement! And to add to a Grunge challenge. There’s something about faded roses that I find quite entrancing. After desaturing the image in CS3, I used another photo of peeling paint blended to give it an even more ‘olde’ look. Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM

The big bad wolf
20” x 20”, Oil on canvas, 1984. I painted this in 1984 when I was 20 years old. I have held onto this ever since and to this day I am still very pleased with it. There’s something about it which I find very tranquil and balanced and just very easy to look at. I was experimenting with new techniques (for me anyway) back then in oils. No paint brushes were used at all, the background is oil paint mixed with linseed oil rubbed with a rag into the canvas, the little white ‘window’ was applied with a pallet knife, as was the aqua ‘sky’ and little vase with flowers. What intrigues me about this little painting is that I feel it was one of those epiphanies where things become clear and you realise that you’ve reached a point and learned a certain amount and now things are coming together in the creative process. I look at this little painting everyday (it now hangs above our bed), and after all these years I can see a familiarity with colour and composition that I am inclined to use these days in my photography. I guess what I am trying to get at is that I am very proud of that 20 year old boy who painted this simple little picture back in 1984. I think he was onto something. I think I would also love to paint again, but it’s not as easy as that. Who knows..maybe one of these days… the painting itself is not for sale
I was trying to be a bit creative in arranging fork & spoons … & ended up taking this shot ! :)
