Spring Wood

Part Plein Air, part studio, acrylic, approx 30cm by 25cm. Basic composition based on thirds, then an awful mess inbetween. This should be seen large scale to "get it".

Porthgain

This was partly Plein Air and partly studio. I wanted to kind of marry calligraphic brush strokes to dynamic landscape forms. So I saw the grass clifftop as blancmange cascading over the fingers of rock that make up the cliffs. Nothing much considered or detatched about this way of painting, but its kind of invigorating. Could have abstracted it further, but thought I,d quit whilst I was ahead.

From Dryslwyn Castle 24 by 15 inches watercolour and mixed media

This is my first successful plein air effort in years, hopefully will provide the template for further efforts. I used to get so much from plein air painting, hope to return to it.

New Blog

I have a new blog "Frank Art" at     http://frankartllandeilo.blogspot.com/    ,with some local collaborators. We set ourselves challenges every fortnight, hence the Pope image which came under the challenge: "Icon Satire" its a digital image:
Apologies, apologies. Rationale was the Catholic church has a long history of financial acumen, selling credits from purgatory , selling plastic glow in the dark Madonna's, charging to see icons etc. So this is a bit of contemporary merchandising, again sorry....
