Cropping and exploring

Remember that A2 piece on cartridge paper that I was reluctant to crop? Well I took the bull by the horns today and went for it!

Crop and collage 1. Love the marks and colours and shapes. Might need something with darker values somewhere, but it's got enough interest for now, to inspire me to get moving again.

2 is quite a vertical view, a slice of that big wide landscape on I could see from Bolus Head during my Cill Rialaig residency. I found it interesting to narrow the view so much.

3 is really all about the vegetation and wildness of February on that barren coast. It doesn't have as much in terms of composition, but I want to keep a record of those marks and colours. Maybe it's about the roots that appear where the road has been cut and the stones have collapsed. And the mountains on the other side, so far away, and yet so close.
