Ithell Colquhoun :
Attributes of the Moon, 1947

oil painting on wood - decalcomania techniques create textured, organic forms, representing themes of the astral world and cyclical time

An anthropomorphic, crowned goddess figure standing in a rocky cave, associated with the Gaia.
- Tate

More 👇

Imagery & Symbolism:
The painting depicts a female figure, often interpreted as a goddess, standing on a crescent moon. The figure wears a crown of ten silver spheres, symbolizing authority. The surrounding environment resembles a cave, often interpreted as a "flesh-like" or womb-like space.

Technique:
Colquhoun employed decalcomania, pressing paint between surfaces to create organic, textured patterns, to initiate the creative process before further developing the forms.

Color Palette:
The painting uses a, muted, dreamy palette of purples, blues, greens, and pale yellows.

Interpretation:
The piece is linked to both occult, esoteric symbolism and traditional religious imagery (specifically the Madonna on a crescent moon). It reflects Colquhoun's interest in the "generative" and "plural" nature of the feminine.

Context:
It was painted in 1947 during a transformative period in her life, amidst her divorce from artist Toni del Renzio and her deep dive into esoteric studies.

Attributes of the Moon is frequently associated with her broader explorations of "mantic stains," or using automatic techniques to reveal hidden, symbolic imagery.

I painted this watercolor to send to a friend out west. What I saw in making it is different than what someone else noticed. Both are true.

A purple sunset with golden yellow sun shining through. Blue foreground of snow or water- you decide - with brown and Black rocks and yellowish-brown grasses sprouting up. A desolate with shades of brown gray and white stands on the right whose branches blow to the left. Tufts of rocks or brown earth and grasses sit around the tree trunk with distant grasses and rocks further up and behind the solo tree.

Here's a fairly large and riotous flower oil painting on board that found a buyer. I think I only posted a photo of this in progress a month or so ago but not the finished painting. I won't attempt to name all the flowers but they're from my garden.

I just learned #sundayfishsketch is a thing and I'm thrilled because goldfish and koi are my favorite animals.
This one is a little darker because I've been grieving the loss of one of my favorite koi. Not accurate, but inspired by scientific art.
