Above are mainly a range of recently completed studies and illustrations made in the studio thus far in 2012. As mentioned in previous blog posts (readpalmforest.blogspot.com) the pastel works were largely sourced from an expedition to the Australian Northern Territory last year. This environment provided a brilliant resource to further practice with the palette i've devised for these types of studies; largely hot and earthly colours against a warm ground. There's still another two of these studies unpublished here, will provide in an upcoming post. The works here that appear starkly different ie monochromatic were mainly created around another trip to America and Europe over a portion of this last winter (our Summer) the two works with ink and pen on paper definitely profited from being in an environment where it was conducive to stay indoors for long periods of time; some strong romantic inspiration was reason to create them as illustrations to poems l was writing then at the same time; check out some of the earlier posts this year from the readpalm blog inserted above. Enjoy and please feel free to leave some feedback here if you like. More output well on it's way.
