Here's the latest in the Curved air series it's 80 by 100cms, charcoal and acrylic, I think it's the lovely warm breezy weather that we're currently enjoying that is the spring board for this series - just hoping it lasts another month so I can be inspired to paint more like this. This is actually a little deeper in colour irl

Another acrylic and charcoal painting - this one is a square format, something that I rarely use, but I'm thinking of getting some more squares as I really like the way they lend themselves to the paintings in my head at the moment. Another thing that I'm enjoying (apart from the weather here) is the change in palette with the last two paintings - still exploring colour and I think next time I renew my supplies I will buy a few surprise colours and see what I can do with them.

Here's my latest, the colours make me think of spring which is well and truly under way here in Malta. It's acrylic and charcoal on canvas. I think this one is going to be the first of a series.

The weather's brilliant so I'm out of winter hibernation mode, I've painted my toenails and got my flip flops out, hurray for spring.
This is the current state of progress of the wip, it's taken on a life of it's own but I'm stopping here for a while as I have a new project that I've just started work on, and I need to get a lot of the images in my head down on canvas (the project is a new series)before they escape me. But as soon as I have most of them roughed out I'll come back to this one and hopefully finish it

Next update, still not completely finished, and as usual working on this one has started me on another, which you can see below. Weather is still bloody cold, so I'm working in the sitting room - where there is heat.

A quick update on this oh so slow wip. The sun is still out but it's really cold in the studio, so still I'm rushing in slapping on a few glazes and rushing out again. Hopefully this weekend I'll finish it

The sun's out again yay. The gesso has finally dried. So a new WIP for a new year. This painting is heavily influenced by the pastels. I've used the acrylics almost like watercolours using thin washes of colours.
The graffito was really satisfactory to do. It released a lot of pent up feelings, so all in all I'm happy with this so far.

I've really been on a roll with these pastel/charcoals. The only thing that I'm having trouble with is keeping the outer areas clean , well that and the fact that I tend to wipe my hands on any available surface.
The smaller ones are on acid free A4 paper, the originals are for sale for 30 EUR plus shipping. The large ones are on semi rough acid free paper 36 by 48 cms and are 45 EUR plus shipping. You can view larger images in the new pastel section in my gallery(Click here to view).

I'm having so much fun with these pastels and charcoals, they are in my hands every spare moment, I even found myself fiddling before work the other day. Not a good idea as I am so easily carried away, and I don't think my boss would be impressed with me turning up late saying "sorry I was playing with the pastels."Our sitting room is now covered with a fine layer of dust - hey ho.
