Today was spent cataloguing my drawings done over the last year and a half.
I photographed the best and buffed them up in photoshop.
The images are a mis mash of ideas but it helped me to put them into folders of likeness in visual terms.
The drawings are ready to be made into paintings now well some of them, its wierd how they change on a computer screen its like there someone elses I have a kind of subjective removal from them. In the flesh as it were I see the marks and floors. On the screen I look at the whole and see the feeling and emotion.
I was in my gallery today and a lady commented that her tutor had said “never paint a gate shut” this is the kind of statement that stains my day why not surely it depends on what you are trying to say. Maybe the tutor thinks that a closed gate is a negative thing to the viewer.
I think its a loaded image with many interpretations the open gate dosent ingage the view it leads them in trow and past the object a closed one stops and gets them to climb over with a moments thoght.
This moment perhaps has tension the kind of moment that I am casing. The images I have made of gate, doors and passages all have these moments going in, stoping, passing through. I am aware of this and wish to investigate it more.
I have a image in mind that I feel the need to make right now of the barn door image on the last post or one before, in fact I going to act on it now
so bye
