The Romance of Travel



Ok title is semi ironic, but then I think there is a romance even in motorways.

Sunset town

This was a real pain to reproduce, tried scanning it, lots of reflections, tried photography ,low lights 3 seconds exposure, still reflections, maybe cos the whole tone is quite dark

Toy Landscape

Pass this view regularly in the car, it has the air of artificiality that you would find in a kids improbable arrangements of toys: the barn is on a nice little hill (why?), the track curves picturesquely, but pointlessly, oh and the sun makes it look improbably ideal.

Tree shadow

Its amazing what you notice once the image is scanned and appears on the screen. This again has been cropped, a lot, and flipped horizontally. Don't know why flipping it improves it, maybe because we read left to right, would other cultures judge the flip differently? Maybe I shouldn't try to explain what I was trying to do, it reduces it all to a recipe, its the taste I want to convey.
Well its a sort of bored Sunday afternoon thing, living next to a road where, nothing ever happens and you are prepared to look for meaning in anything, even a car that drives past and the sound fades slowly to nothing. Sounds really boring put like that, but I think there is a kind of intensity to extreme non events.................time for my medication.

Gower Stones

A row of random stones in early evening, a bit of exposed soil, and a building lurking in the background.

Beach corner

Ok this is awfully similar to "Aberystwyth" painting below, but I like this sort of thing.

Slipway

This started off as a spatial thing, then became a textural thing, then with cropping has become a spatial and textural thing. The textures dont read very well at small scale.
