On the wall in my studio

In production this week

Paintings, drawings and prints from conception to completion or destruction. A view of the progression of new work in my studio.

Paintings, prints and drawings are all made in a purpose built studio building (pictured bottomish right)
Built in 2000 by Alex Abelman and friends, the building is designed to incorporate elements which are useful and practical.

The studio at Dungeness

Phoenix - Carriage (completed)

alt= alt=

Edwardian train carriage revealed on the West-side beach "that which rises from the ashes of what was destroyed" - Early days on this diptych, adding structure in order to start a process of simplification. I'm after a certain mood... not unlike 1950's seaside tourist paintings/posters.

The Den/Base on Dungeness beach (now completed)

Oil on linen (images link to Open Studio 1)

'The Base' an extensive wooden play den made by children on the beach at Dungeness.

I intend these smaller paintings be made in a loose painterly and playful manner - Using a bright and innocent palette, to match the ethos of the structure.

Step by step information and guidance on a working painter's techniques.
