<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Breaking down some shapes/states below the border, strengthening others - purple Durango, bird-like Nuevo Leon and the new blue brushmark on the right now appear almost sculptural, sitting upright on the bottom edge. Tweaks of colour...two fast brushmarks, left to right, deflattening the image and bringing movement..The eye was being pulled downwards in the earlier version, now we are going across the image following the line of the border.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Denise's idea- a touch of the purple near the top, describing the edge of New Mexico.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The drill holes/bullet holes now continue around the 'frame' I have been considering a utilitarian grey for the 'frame' but then it may become unambiguously a frame and not part of the painting. The 'functional' holes from the screws that held the perspex now become part of the painting. Looking back on my notes, I originally intended to drill holes along the border, showing the twin border towns. The holes around the painting are physical/real/actual, symbolic and decorative, darkness and light...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is not a political painting, it's art from another piece of art, a novel, that reconnects me to a landscape I last visited eighteen years ago. There was going to be much more red, but it is what it is, a seduction by colour and paint. The edge in this painting is what is revealed as you approach it, the collected residues of the process on the bottom ledge. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've painted this border before - above is a detail from 'Sunset Ltd', the name of the trainline that hugs the border on it's journey from LA to New Orleans. In comparison, the new piece looks almost flamboyant. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">La</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">te night session...the jigsaw states are back, lots of borders, edges, shapes to play with. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Maybe it's become too literal and 'tasteful'? I much prefer the subtleties of the paint and colour and the openness of the borders on the US side. Or is it good to have the contrast, highlighting the difference between man-made and natural borders?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The excitement in the painting comes in the bottom shelf where ideas and actions are collected. Stronger (accidental) compositions too. Pools of congealed red in the gutter. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So is the piece about that surprise, that contrast between image and process that is revealed as you approach the painting?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm going to extend the drill holes all around the painting to break up the flatness of the frame (bullets?- again too literal) The frame may be gray. The jigsaw shapes sit too smugly- I'm missing the dynamism of the angled brushmarks in the version below. Time to re-look the image. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The start of a new painting (series), once again working from a novel, 'The Power of the Dog' by Don Winslow, about narco-wars in Mexico and the American Southwest. It's also my response to the theme of 'Borders', the theme of the inaugural Newlyn Society of Artists exhibition in January at their new home at Tremenheere. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are borders between countries and borders between states but the desert either side is the same. The frame itself is a border...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Babel rises….built
brick by brick. A new Babel in New York.
In the spirit of the novel, each brick/canvas contains one of the letters that
spell THETOWEROFBABEL, hidden in the real or imagined grid of New York, ‘fact’ and ‘fiction’ once again intermingled. As I have mentioned before, what is exciting about this piece is the flexibility offered by the rearrangement of the bricks. Perhaps the new Babel will look more like the arrangement below, from this years Open Studios....</span></div>

the finale, the idea was always lurking in the background. However, after a
break of a few months there are new ideas and memories of half-explored ideas,
unresolved. The ‘City of Glass’ series goes on….</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A very short session in the studio- one thought, one tool, one colour, one action, one line....the Tower is complete. Looking forward to a day off with the family.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The extension of the line works for me, fading out towards the edge....I have really enjoyed making this piece- not least because it has forced me to work in the landscape format and on smaller canvases (25x30cms), where changes can be made very rapidly. While enjoying looking at the Tower, the downside is that each individual brick/letter/canvas is undervalued and hard to see. I think some of the paintings are as good as anything I have done, especially the later canvases so I am going to give each a City of Glass number to recognize their quality. It might take away a bit of the fun of working out the letters but perhaps they are obvious anyway....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Denise suggested the colour- scheme for the new 'brick' - pink and pale grey. Might tidy up the bottom and have the circle truly balanced on the line. The circle feels as if it might roll off to the right but maybe that brings a tension to the piece. Imperfect circles are best - Trevor Bell is the master. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">'Brick 10' has been a battle - I've just spent five hours in the studio trying stuff out, looking for a stronger, purer painting. I was bugged by being able to see the stretcher behind the paint on the left in (2) and needed to know whether the point of the triangle should touch the bottom of the canvas. I think (2) and the final painting work in different ways but I believe I've made a better painting. (2) is more decorative, busier, but the painting above has a strength in the drawing and the more intriguing space. I particularly like how the purple triangle sits on the line and its relationship with the pale-yellow corner. The softer edges too against the severity of the scored lines. It's an uncompromising piece. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The scored line was technically difficult- drawn by hand in one go with no room for error and because of the thickness of the paint, there is was a build up of excess paint around the sides which had to removed afterwards with a knife. A pure freeing mark- if it went wrong I would have to remake a flat surface again, losing the unique combination of colours and marks underneath. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Underneath? Where exactly is the line? The not knowing makes the painting interesting. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The composition and the key elements have remained from the first session (1) The angled paint is critical as it mirrors the angled streets of the district. The purple triangle is a specific detail that cuts the horizontal of the street and of course the 'W' is one of the letters in THETOWEROFBABEL. Within these parameters I've made a painting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope my daughter Faye likes it- she was upset when I started to make changes. I like how the painting is, I think I can leave it. Like the building of the original Tower of Babel, this piece has become all obsessive - five 'bricks' to go. I have the locations for the remaining letters- lets see what happens. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Possibly a new 'brick', maybe make the scratched angled line more precise.

A vertical mark instead of a block of colour. I still need to straighten the edge. I've also taken out the scratched triangle at the bottom to allow the deep,deep violet to flood through the right side. A little bit of crisp drawing at the top of the column brings clarity and a suggestion of architecture....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A good session- I've been looking forward to introducing a dark 'brick' into the tower to shake things up. Might put a dark blue glaze over the column on the right to push it back into the painting at the same time simplifying the composition. Got to wait a few days 'til it's dry. I also want to straighten the edge- it was straight but the paint slid off!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the recent City of Glass paintings, the Tower of Babel, the central image from the novel*, has been neglected....</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this piece, each small painting, 25x35cms, becomes a brick in the Tower. In the spirit of the novel, each 'brick' will contain one of the fifteen letters that spell THETOWEROFBABEL, some obvious, some more obscure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Further exploring the blurrings of 'fact' and 'fiction' in the novel and in the series, some of the 'bricks' are based on the street-grid of Manhattan, others are pure invention - they <u>could</u> be part of the grid. It is for the viewer to become detective to make these discoveries....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Manhattan is dismantled, fragmented, rearranged. There is a discipline: if one of the paintings/bricks happens to sell, I am obliged to replace it, find another way to paint the missing letter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this way the piece is renewed, kept fresh. I am looking forward to arranging the finished 'bricks'. Because of the infinite number of combinations, the piece need never appear the same twice. The 'new' Babel in New York may not be necessarily ziggurat-shaped....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This piece is for Geoff Rigden, who sadly passed away recently. Geoff taught me at Canterbury and set me on the road to becoming a painter, He often came to my Open Studios in London, and was very generous and perceptive in his comments about my work, opening my eyes to the possibilities in painting. Although, you don't normally associate 'image' </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">with Geoff's painting, I hope that each individual panel contains something of the serious playfulness of his work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The 'bricks' below may change, though I hope by not too much. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each of the twelve Freedom in Painting workshops in Kent have explored a different aspect of painting. We have looked at 'Red', 'The Circle, 'LIbra (Balance)', 'The Diptych', 'The Space Between'. We have worked with the model on several occasions, there was a workshop that explored composition using the two lighthouses of Dungeness and recently we looked at the work of Richard Diebenkorn. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This time, e</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">leven artists from all over the country gathered together at <a href="http://creek-creative.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Creek Creative</span></a> Studios in Faversham to explore the important genre of Still Life. In advance, the artists were asked to look at the work of Morandi and William Scott and also to bring in one or two of their own favorite objects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A talk on the history of the genre was followed by a loosening up, compositional drawing exercise. The artists were then split into three groups and each group was asked to arrange on their own table, by consensus, a still- life of six objects which they drew for the rest of the morning, conventionally and unconventionally!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After lunch, the painting session began, and without giving too much away, the still-life changed during the afternoon. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Day 2 began with a challenging painting exercise and throughout the day, the artists pushed their paintings forwards, in the spirit of the words of Richard Diebenkorn:</span><br />

able to tell what objects are important to me by what tends to stay in the
painting as it develops' </span></span></i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As always, the workshop ended with an invaluable group critique. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over the 2 days the artists gave their all - intellect, painting skills and instinct, and through their intensity of working produced an incredibly strong and varied set of paintings. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The movement you can see: waves barreling in...the subtle, creeping movement of the tide, observed over time. Movement in painting - dynamism, expressive marks, angles, repeated motifs. Symbols of time and mortality in painting. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The course began on Monday morning with a drawing exercise around the harbour following the idea of movement. The afternoon painting session also began with an exercise- the artists asked to draw a simple arial view of the harbour and then reproduce it several times on their canvas. We had some remarkable results (see Erica Shipley's painting above).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Tuesday, we visited Marazion, walking the causeway to St.Michaels Mount before visiting the Market House Gallery with its its extensive collection of 20th century and contemporary painting. We had a special treat after lunch, seeing the work of Rose Hilton at the Yew Tree Gallery. One of our artists was tempted......!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Spurred on by the art we had seen seen and the landscape, the group put in a productive painting session in the afternoon, working to 7pm. Our visit to the Ship Inn was well earned. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next two and a half days were spent painting in the studio, with the soundtrack of the sea, working towards the exhibition. Inspired by the landscape of Porthleven and with their own personal interpretation of 'Movement', during the week the artists produced a strong and eclectic set of paintings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The studio was transformed into a gallery on Friday afternoon, before welcoming visitors to the Preview in the evening. As per tradition we then went out for a celebratory meal, this year at Kota Kai, with its delicious fusion food.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A new photo with the Nikon - close to the truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This painting works both ways-perhaps as a portrait-landscape it defines Porthleven more with the harbour curving to the right, the distinctive flick outwards of the front pier...the rose fork, now more prominent, defining the gap between the pairs of piers...as a landscape, its more of a cubist space, with viewpoints intermingled, less defined...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've described the end of a painting as a sequence of green lights, where each painting decision/action seems to be the right one and I think we are there or nearly there with this piece. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A late night session after a couple of pints in the Ship turned this painting around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think the large angled yellow shape in the 'foreground'- a hint of image- is a thing of beauty, its crisp edge and purity setting off the complexities of the paint and drawing behind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The shape came from an earlier pink diamond, (below), which in itself came from a diamond-shaped patch of light on the studio floor. It's sunny again- unreal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's fantastic to able to look at the painting from 20ft away, with the soundtrack of the sea.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This 2-day workshop at Creek Creative will tackle the enduring subject of the Still-Life but as always there will be twists and challenges along the way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><em><br /></em></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><em>I have found in my still-life work that I seem to be able to tell what objects are important to me by what tends to stay in the painting as it develops' </em> Richard Diebenkorn</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In my own practice, 'Still-Life' is rare - I was probably traumatised by having to paint my first ever still-life on my art college interview! In the early nineties though I painted collections/arrangements of pebbles,stones and shells, fused with landscape. Appropriately, with the workshop in Faversham, these paintings from the early nineties, are about nearby Whitstable, a favourite place where I lived during my time at Canterbury College of Art. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I feel 'Black-Beach' is the most successful of the series, taking the ideas further and more spatially interesting, escaping the 'tabletop'. This painting won second prize in the Observer Hunting Art Prizes in 1993. I think there is a compliment about the painting here:</span><br />

grander judges complained that the idiom eluded him and that in it he could see
nothing better than the tarred surface of a London street – to which the
response of the real grandee of the occasion, ‘It is a
compliment to the painting that it leaves you critically disarmed’</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The 1st year painting that kept me in art-college, when i finally let go of photographic imagery. I think I have this rolled up somewhere- maybe... it's oil on paper!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">My 'demonstration' painting from the Polruan course. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they are a beginning....I had to wait a few days for the paint to settle down - to avoid it sliding off- before I could have a proper look on the wall..</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It's done: love the paint, colour and the space. There is both a flat-space and a hierarchy of receding space. The pink shape establishes 'foreground'. The small purple marks at the top of the canvas, and the layers of paint tucked behind each other, together (accidentally) establish 'distance'. It says Polruan to me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The course started with drawing- in Polruan from multi viewpoints, moving through the landscape, and in Fowey, a short ferry-ride across the river. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The artists were asked to follow a discipline in their drawings to provoke ideas about composition and design and of course possibilities for their painting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the studio the artists explored colour-mixing, colour-theory and the process of abstraction, with reference to many of the painters of the St.Ives School, Peter Lanyon, Ben Nicholson, Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, Alfred Wallis etc. Over the next few days,the paintings emerged, the artists sourcing ideas from the analytical <u>and</u> the emotional response to the landscape, the drawings, the studies and the exercises transformed with imagination and invention. </span></div>

As it was a new venue I was a little nervous, but the room we worked in was ideal, with its features and central columns featuring in several of the paintings. I've already booked it for the next Freedom in Painting workshop 'Still-Life' in October. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In advance of the course, the 14 artists were asked to choose their favourite Diebenkorn painting and bring along an image to the workshop - a difficult task but of course it forced everyone to look at <u>all</u> of Diebenkorn's work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After an introductory talk about the three distinct phases of Diebenkorn's career, his ideas and methods, I asked to the artists to find a connection between their chosen image image and reality, with something out there, and make a drawing and use this as the start point for their painting. Some artists found their inspiration outside, others in the studio, perhaps proof that, because of his range and his seamless shifting from abstraction into figuration and back again, Diebenkorn is everywhere.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The return of image- a fine resolution to a troublesome painting. A small painting is often more difficult to work than a larger canvas because there is no space. I was actually packing up my space in Open Studios when I thought I'd give it one more go. I forced a harbour into the over-busy paint - and brought in Mars Violet, Rose and magenta pinks to set off the green and bring space and clarity. I saw the boat shape and worked with it. I am enjoying the way it sits with its turquoise twist and the rhythm of verticals linking to the vertical edge of the mark at the stern. </span><br />

Already a fat piece of blue slid off while I was watching the football...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The beginning, (1) was too static the frozen moment akin to a photograph, The second canvas was added (2) to diminish the scale of the structure and enlarge the 'surge'. These are my daughter Faye's colours -using her leftover paint- but the canvas a perfect match. The last act was to open up the painting more by taking out the downward movement of the heavy blue line on the bottom left edge</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'Pier' is a very personal motif, in my life and in my art. The title is a kind of tribute to Mondrian's wonderful 'Pier and Ocean (Composition No.10)'. and I was secretly thrilled when <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=janiemmcdonaldart" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">Janie </a> said 'where's the pier?' when I told her the title. This of course is a common reaction when seeing Mondrian's painting for the first time! If you know Porthleven you may recognise the pier with its' distinctive kink - here the crisp line leads the eye back into the painting, and forms the tip of the diamond-shape. </span><br />

We're done. An hour of looking and I added the yellow-line (on the right-edge above). Perversely I put it in to make A work because I felt the heavy yellow was slipping out of the picture. What it has done, for me, is to make the landscape less literal and strengthens the inner-frame. The lumps and bumps in the yellow have shifted in the night!</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I feel very lucky to have had two fantastic conversations about this new piece today, with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/janiemmcdonald?fref=ts" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Janie M McDonald</span></a><span style="color: blue;"> </span>at our shared studio and with Yvonne McCann online, where I posed the<span style="color: blue;"> </span>question about which way up the painting should be And why. All four ways were shown. Once again their analysis and observations were spot on. Both artists highlighted the neccessity of having the heavy yellow at the bottom but differed on which orientation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yvonne talking about 'B': <i>'I love how the sweep of blue between the two yellow masses sails down and out. The bottom yellow creates a powerful foreground mass pulling from the flat to the 3D and back again' </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm still undecided- the painting may need a mark, a touch to convince. Athough linked to Porthleven, with the oncoming tide pouring through the gaps between piers, this piece is more about the idea of harbour rather than a specific place. Of containment. Of fragility. Of futility even, in the face of stronger forces. In B, the fragility of the inner frame seems more prominent, but is it too obvious a landscape?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Far, far stronger now - it's done. The verticality of the painting is reinforced by the stacked and levered curves and the long vertical line on the right, cutting through the paint. Much more movement. Poured pinks and purples shake up the colour, setting off the greens. The canvas divide is now integral, linking to the higher horizontal of the green pier. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been struggling with the shape and scale of this piece for the past few days, at 180 cms the largest painting yet in the Porthleven series. I feel I'm getting closer with the colour and harbour-shape (4) There is greater clarity but it's looking a bit too controlled. Much has been lost: the sea has gone backwards, the red/orange is too flat and the bottom panel feels a little disconnected. I have in mind a fat, off vertical line of force- a slightly paler turquoise with streaks of pink- that runs from top to bottom of the canvas, crashing through the gaps between the piers. It will bring life/light/movement if I get it right. I'll be re-drawing tomorrow and cutting/scraping through the paint to bring out the hidden colours and energise the surface.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The latest 'Freedom in Painting course was recently held at the Old Lifeboat House in Porthleven, Cornwall - a stunning location at the head of the harbour (left above). It was a very intense and very enjoyable week that ended with a one day exhibition, where we received over a hundred visitors during the day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The eight artists met up on Saturday and set up the studio space before returning the next </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">morning for our first drawing session around the harbour. But there is always a twist: before leaving the studio I asked the group to place a vertical line on 20 pages in their sketchbooks in different positions, including some on the Golden Section. The aim was to find different ways to use that line in the landscape.....the exercise resulted in some very strong and inventive drawings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The idea of 'The Intruding Line' continued in our first painting session after lunch: the artists were asked to put two structural lines on their canvas on the Golden Section- one vertical and one horizontal. The antithesis of 'freedom' perhaps - I was not the most popular person in the room! - but the artists could choose whether to go with the lines or against them....</span><br />

We ended the day with an invaluable, informal group critique before retiring to the Ship Inn next door for a well earned drink and delicious food. During the day there was also a discussion on time, tide and movement in painting in preparation for the Tuesday morning visit to Marazion. We saw the causeway uncovered and walked across to </span><a href="http://www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk/" style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">St.Michaels Mount</span></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> and as the tide receded we saw some astonishing colours.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">In keeping with the idea of 'Freedom' the group collaborated on two paintings, a large piece (below left) and a small canvas where we took it in turns to push the painting forwards. Both pieces were exhibited in the exhibition and Carol was the lucky winner after we drew lots for the very desirable small painting!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are delighted to introduce this new Freedom in Painting course set in the magical coastal village of Polruan, on the south coast of Cornwall. Your tutor Ashley Hanson is an acclaimed colourist and landscape artist and a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists. Our studio and base for the 4 days is the Village Hall ideally situated, overlooking the Fowey River, with an outside terrace providing a wonderful option to paint outside. There are also glorious panoramic views to the open sea behind. </span></div>

Course Information</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first morning will be spent getting to know Polruan. Ashley will take the group to a number of favourite viewpoints where artists will be encouraged to make studies, collecting information and ideas for paintings back in the studio. Over the 4 days there will be further drawing/painting sessions in Polruan and it's surrounds, including visits to Fowey across the river,(weather permitting).</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This course is a unique opportunity to work in a small group with acclaimed colourist and landscape artist Ashley Hanson, a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists. The studio for the week is in the Old Lifeboat House, in Porthleven, Cornwall, dramatically positioned on the edge of the harbour facing the open sea. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ashley has a very special connection with Porthleven; the paintings of Peter Lanyon (in particular 'Porthleven ' made in 1951) have had a major influence on his work and this unspoilt fishing town with it's double harbour and iconic clock tower continues to inspire his paintings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"Ashley's concern as an artist and teacher, is to unleash the emotional response to the subject matter that enables the painter to take risks, discover a 'personal colour palette that excites' and to provide the fresh vision of Britain's natural beauty that places him within the long tradition set by the masters of the landscape genre."</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I posted this painting on Facebook recently, as a 'brick' in my recent City of Glass 38- (T.H.E.T.O.W.E.R.O.F.B.A.B.E.L.)', there was A Strange Occurence. After posting,a split-second later appeared this painting by New York artist <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.paulbehnke.net/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Paul Behnke</span></a>.</span> with the uncanny similarity of the triangles. A further co-incidence was that when I made my piece, I'm sure I had been thinking about a <a href="http://www.malimorris.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Mali Morris</span></a> painting that Paul had recently seen in <a href="http://www.seventeengallery.com/exhibitions/cuts/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Cuts, Shapes, Breaks and Scrapes</span></a>, at <a href="http://www.seventeengallery.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Seventeen</span></a> in London and posted on his Blog <a href="http://structureandimagery.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">'Structure and Imagery'</span></a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Seeing the paintings side by side made me think about our different approaches to painting and colour. In my work, I am happier with a context, my excursions into 'pure' abstraction proving to be a dead-end. The whole 'City of Glass' series is of course inspired by Paul Auster's novel 'The New York Trilogy' and in this painting the parameters were the the size and orientation of the canvas, a possible connection to the grid of Manhattan, and a choice of 'T' or 'A', the two remaining letters. That is where my triangle came from but the context goes hand in hand with formal considerations during the process. </span></div>

depicting. They are stylised elements within and part of that form'</i></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm a great admirer of Paul's painting, the grandeur of their design and the scintillating colour. Again with colour, we have different approaches. In my own work, I am puritanical about the importance of <u>mixing</u> colour, finding colour. I asked Paul about his colour: '</span></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">what does colour mean to you? purely formal and instinctive?
did I read somewhere that you prefer not to mix colour?'</span></div>

when I need something quick that I can't buy. I think color is all of that even
in the same painting. Parts of a form's color can seem formal but color has the
capacity to convey an over all mood. Since I have no color choices in mind when
I start a piece a color choice is a reaction to a color previously applied -
just like painting in general - I make a move then react for or against that
move’</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With different philosophies behind our art, it is how we use colour that provides the link, its criticality to the piece, sensually and formally, and our searching for those magical colour- relationships, each colour leading to the next....</span><br />

There is already a soft, subtle curve to the right of the rose line- there is no need to embellish.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's gone backwards since this morning A loss of purity and spaciousness, I've been looking at the idea of messing with scale: a book on end casting a shadow, suggesting architecture, landscape or tabletop? Echoes of Morandi's monumental still-lives.,,just a bad illustration. The figure is going back in on the right side, casting the shadow.....The paint needs scraping back on the left, it's too heavy, fade it out, build up heaviness on the right, take it to the edge of the canvas...The colour, tone, angle, execution, presence, of the yellow on the left side is much more interesting below.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Starting out with a word, 'Shadow' and it's dual meaning (a cast shadow and the verb-to shadow, to follow...), A familiar motif- the figure of Stillman - and the continuing, elusive objective of having Stillman and a building/tower in the same painting without the figure looking giant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just working out colours and composition, the placement and scale of the elements in the painting. A horizontal - introduced to counteract the powerful vertical of the central canvas divide- becomes a table-top and an idea emerges....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The central pillar suggests a book which I am going to move to the right-edge of the painting,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a more exciting,more extreme composition. The figure can go..for now. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A change of title, a more intriguing title that references the physicality of this piece, the act of painting and Tom Waits' song, 'New Coat of Paint', from 'The Heart of Saturday Night' one of my favourite and most played albums in the studio.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A colour-exercise (1), preparing for the 'RED' workshop in Canterbury, becomes a painting. If there is red there is green, hence the unplanned title. If you are familiar with the novel*, Stillman, (and of course Quinn who is tailing him), spends a lot of time wandering in Riverside Park. </span><br />

Once again the intention was to remove the tower during the process but stuff happens - I felt no need. Another bald Stillman- in (2) he has lost his head!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">At the midway point of my journeys around US on the Boise Travel Scholarship*, Denise came over for a couple of weeks and we drove to New England visiting Cape Cod, Nantucket and up the coast to Maine. After an aborted attempt to get a studio in New York, I took up the offer of working in the barn of sculptor Jon Isherwood in upstate New York. a great friend from Canterbury College of Art. The location was idyllic, with a view of the Catskills through the barn door. Jon and Helen were great hosts and critics too. An intense two months period of working followed, a critical period in my career. I was prolific, twenty odd paintings, including several large canvases. I worked in oils so had to return to the US a year later to build a crate around the paintings, before shipping them back to England. My experiences in the US continued to inspire my work, becoming the 'A m e r i c a s c a p e s' series which was shown at the Woodlands Gallery, Morley Gallery and the Michael West Gallery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'Cape Cod & the Islands' was shown at the Royal academy Summer Exhibition in 2011. Fall colours,... boat-shaped Nantucket sails out of the painting....enjoying the range of paint, the journey from the flat wash in the top left through to the dense mass/weight of paint, colour, marks in the waters of Rhode Island. (below).</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Powerful in a different way is the second area of focus, the tiny pink tip of Cape Cod pulsating against the blue sea....the Atlantic shoreline is broken, water seeps into the land creating movement...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zooming in on Cape Cod in the next painting...love the colours of the water and the curved corner, echoing the shape of Cape Cod and the hook of Provincetown. The painting has an ambiguous space, the aerial viewpoint subverted by the receding scale of the boats, which help make Cape Cod almost vertical and sculptural. strangely anchored at the base.</span></div>
