Shadow and light



I'm currently getting to grips with light and shade. Here are a couple of recent stabs at it..

Loss of studio

Sadly this week I have ben informed that I have to vacate my studio space. It has been mainly just me working there and two others who rent a space but barely use it. The others spaces have been used on and off for two years but more off than on! Steve, the sub-letter, has found someone to rent the whole space so I have to move. Went to a few spaces to have a look but none were suitable/practical etc. I have decided to use our spare bedroom for the time being. This will free up a bit of cash and may increase the amount I do. Or not. We shall see. It may just be a temporary thing and I'll search again in a few months time. If anyone knows of spaces in eh Port area of Adelaide then I'd be happy to view.

Landscape


I completed this one a little while ago but have been a bit unsure where it sits with the rest of my work. However, thought that I'd just post it anyway. It was done with many layers of oils worked into a rough piece of board so it is very textured. It shows an Australian landscape from several viewpoints at once. The sea is to the right.
