Equinox 1

Equinox II

The paintings are completed for this project, the artwork will be stored for the winter to exhibit next year sometime, hopefully Spring.

It’s been an interesting project for me because of the way painting activity coincided with the cycle of the Autumn equinox which is when it began two years ago.

Being in a very rural region the pattern of the seasons determine life activities in a direct way.

I’ve learnt a lot about the sea and it’s moods and colours, but also a fragment of the history of the coast, which is vast and rich.

With an ongoing engagement with possibly one of the smallest maritime museums in Wales ‘Ty Gwyn’ , which houses a whole display of items found off the coast relating to a shipwreck, it seemed fitting to display some of my coastal drawings there longer term.

I’ll write a post when the exhibition is displayed and look out on a-n events when I exhibit the project in 2017.

thank you for reading, appreciating and following this blog  !

I have two blank canvases to paint and a few drawings to frame before the close of this project- production wise.

The timing falls within the equinox change to Autumn so it seems fitting especially when the coastal feel has changed again from light and busy to a quieter place, almost deserted of traffic.. and warm sunshine, although Autumn can bring the sun and stunningly clear evenings.

The last painting I did was based on the sea gulls song.
