Time to settle back into my creative practise. Just came across a photo with wonderful light over the mountains just outside Allihies, going toward Eyeries. It will take me a while to develop this idea into paintings. But I trust in the process. Watercolour, watersoluble graphite pencils and a few other bits and pieces.
Last week, I had painted on heavyweight cartridge paper, and it buckled a lot. I wasn't crazy about the composition. So I tore it up. It's a process. It's good to let go of something. And creating something new from it. The hardest part for me is to glue extra elements onto the cropped piece. But I like where these two pieces have gone. One still very much a landscape, the other going towards the abstraction I'm interested in, where the landscape becomes flesh. The idea is still elusive, but I'm getting a glimpse of where this is going.
