As I have said previously, I am now working on a new set of paintings. I may show the same works at both exhibitions, but ideally I would like to be able to produce enough to present different work.
My new work concentrates on one subject because I feel that this expresses the lack of privacy and also reinforces that social networking allows one to edit ones real life into a idyllic virtual life. I have selected several images from their facebook site to work from. The images have been selected for their contrived, and sometimes humerous qualities.
I have been trying to make the paintings work as a series by using similar hues in each composition. I am also using more earthy, warm colours to allow my paintings to fit in with the others’ work. I noticed that Rose and Lucy often make use of Prussian Blue, and to great effect because it is such a rich colour, so I have include this my own palette too. Hopefully my new choice of colours will allow my work to fit in better and also make transition between different art works less jarring.
I keep rearranging the order of my paintings to see how to make them look their best. When they are more complete I will photograph them in the different orders to see which is best and upload them to my blog.
