New work in progress detail: mixed media on unstretched hessian.
Mixed media painting of a female figure with back to the viewer, head turned towards the horizon. A sloping ridge line beyond, with grey-blue sky above. Limited palette of blues, red, raw umber and yellows.

New painting! Oil on panel, 40 x 50cm. Will be added to my website (see bio). #oilpainting #landscape #mountains #wicklowmountains #soggy #Ireland
Mountain landscape in oils: outline of receding ridge lines, with waterlogged, grassy hills and cascading water. A more detailed depiction of rocks, vegetation and water in the foreground, reducing to just outlines beyond, and a simple sky in just 2 colours (buff and light grey-blue). Palette limited and dominated by ochre, raw umber and more of the grey-blue used for the sky.

So Jane Fonda relaunches The Committee for the First Ammendment, formed in 1947 to defend American against the House UnAmerican Activities Committee.
At 87 she's still a leading light.

I’ve reworked one from a few weeks ago (may need a click). Oil on panel, 60 x 80cm #oilpainting #seascape #landscape #coast #irishart www.artachart.com
Coastal seascape in oils, depicting a stormy sky above a hilly coastline, with suggestion of homes and lights to the right. Cliffs and a calmer cove in the foreground, with suggestion of rougher sea behind. Limited palette of mostly blues, greys, white & yellow.

Morning pre-dawn Sheffield. Just a few lights in hotel opposite me.
