I think that has got something to with uni laying on a second project on top of the first one, not that I mind working on two things at once, but the prospect of completing 20 paintings in about 5 weeks, on its own seems a fair deal, but if you add in the research file, compiling relevant artists and inspirations, a reflective journal discussing ideas, debates and theories surrounding your work and attending lectures, seminars and anything else they throw at you! But, in the end I made it! Well, almost, due to personal circumstances I only had 3 weeks in which I could do the painting...so, I only managed to complete 17 out of the 20, but did all the research and the reflective journal, oh and the contextual studies tasks and the 1000 word essay!!
Now it is time for a little relaxation...or should I say its meant to be time for relaxation, I got home after hand in and didn't know what to do with myself, so I ended up cleaning my little studio!
Just for you I am going to include a few pics of the paintings I am pleased with :)
This piece was the painting in which we had to paint on a non fine art surface, I chose a small metal tin to paint on and this was the result.
This painting was an experiment using ink and nail varnish remover. The nail varnish remover seems to have merged and dispersed the coloured inks but left the black ink as solid lines.
This piece was the painting which was required to have a minimum of one hole in it. For me, I can attach a number of interpretations to this painting, but I will leave it up to you to decide what you think it is or means...
Now this painting I was really pleased with, it was one of the last paintings I did and was a totally random idea. The guideline was that we had to make a frame the integral part of the painting, so, here is my integral frame...
I wont bore you with anymore paintings! Would be great if you could let me know what you think to them though :) Thanks!
