Posted on October 17, 2014 by Guthlac

My mind has drawn a blank this morning for any sort of title to this entry – woman’s bottom perhaps?   Well maybe but one thing for sure is that if you are trying to make a delicate life drawing … Continue reading →

Sometimes I really do dispair

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Guthlac

So we have just over 6 months to go to the next election and already I feel a well of blackness consuming me. We have a set of politicians who, lets not be too blunt about this, are useless. It … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 174 – Old man take a look at my life…

Posted on October 15, 2014 by Guthlac

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Guthlac

I find sitting down and making images from what I might see on whatever screen I might be watching at the time very relaxing.  There are no doubt many purests that might think that this is not real art or … Continue reading →

Project LV One – 172 – Still Life

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Guthlac

I hate still life.  There I’ve said it but I’m afraid it is true.  I find making a still life drawing very hard and in the end soul destroying.  I’m not a huge fan of still life paintings either – … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 170 – Over Ambitious

Posted on October 11, 2014 by Guthlac

Project LV One – Day 169 – Internal Contradictions

I have learnt the hard way that there reaches a point in the life of any painting that the internal contradictions are greater than the paintings ability to recover.  When this point is reached then there is only one thing … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 168 – Apple Strudel – WARNING contains a drawing showing nipples

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Guthlac

I’m in a bit of a Germanic mood at the moment.  This has been encouraged by my recent visit to the latest version of Germany – there have been many.  Whilst there I bought a book on Gustav Klimt which … Continue reading →
