Brushes with Fate

Posted on 31 December, 201831 December, 2018 by David Meredith

George

Posted on 30 December, 201830 December, 2018 by David Meredith
On this day 34 years ago, my Dad died suddenly. I had forgotten that this was his anniversary until Jane, my step-mum, reminded me. Coincidentally, while doing a bit of a tidy in our converted attic this morning, I came...Read More

I haven't worked on this for a while. Here's where it was on 21 November, the last time I took a knife to it ... And after today's onslaught ... Taking shape, as they say. Going to invest in a...Read More

Morning Glory

Posted on 28 December, 201828 December, 2018 by David Meredith
It's 28 December 2018. Just coming up to lunchtime. I've been bringing a lot of things together: bamboo, gouache, egg shells, a silver pen. It's been a great morning. First, my phoenix idea. This kind of worked and I'm quite...Read More

3 Fs

Posted on 28 December, 201828 December, 2018 by David Meredith
Yesterday I woke early. Just after 3am. I know! Anyway, I was puzzling about that bamboo fish. Thinking that even if I did another one with string all the way around the outside, I still wouldn't be able to hang...Read More

St Stephen’s Day

Posted on 26 December, 201826 December, 2018 by David Meredith
Yesterday was busy: preparing, cooking, eating, drinking, playing games, walking, crashing out. Not much time for creativity. Stretching the point, though, I suppose I tried a few new things in the kitchen. The red cabbage recipe was a new one...Read More

Misty Forest

Posted on 24 December, 201824 December, 2018 by David Meredith
Just to keep the ball rolling so to speak. I’m getting more comfortable with painting, and painting plantlife in particular. Here’s a pine forest in the mist ... (a bit rough but it’s my first go at this and I...Read More

Autumn

Posted on 19 December, 201819 December, 2018 by David Meredith
Used all sorts of stuff for this: acrylics, gouache, water colour and gold pen. And, of course, it’s on an egg shell.  A close up ...

... are difficult to paint. Here are my attempts Among them is this which I think is pretty good. The problem was that it was one of the first I did but I did it by accident. So I then...Read More

Messing with light and shade

Posted on 12 December, 201812 December, 2018 by David Meredith
Back to the gouache, playing with colours, light and shade ...

That’s more like it

Posted on 12 December, 201812 December, 2018 by David Meredith
Tried a different tack. Still to the soundtrack of the singing bowls. Smaller flowers. Better concentration. Watercolour pencils. Small brushes. I'm pleased with the result. (And no, I haven't fallen out of love with gouache but I have realised that...Read More
