New painting – Sol Winter Storm No.2 February 2023 Oil on canvas 96×195 cm £3500

Sol Winter Storm No.2 February 2023 Oil on canvas 96×195 cm £3500
The artwork is a response to nature, painted outside and finished in the studio. The painting explores our connection with nature, more than that, it explores landscape and seascape in the broader context of how weather systems develop that the sun drives the climate, It is about interconnection, philosophically it is an attempt to impress upon the viewer that we are not a separate creation from nature. That our consiousness, our self awareness evolved out of the same laws of nature that govern the evolution of the universe. From this philosophical point of view consciousness is the universe becoming self aware, holding a metaphorical mirror up to itself and asking the question what am I ….. Then the choice of how we treat nature arises. As we are nature it is in reality about how we treat ourselves, each other and nature.
…. The choice is yours ….

New drawings

…. A whole bunch of new drawings and more to come …. having great fun with these, dipping in  and around lot’s of memories from the cycle tour ….

 

These first two are from our cycle tour of Eire – Ros Beithe Contae Ciarrai The drawing is made of several pages from the same sketchbook attached and the drawing folds up into the sketchbook. This was a Moon lite walk along the beach close to where we were wild camping and the wreck is of the schooner ‘The Sunbeam’ built in 1860 and wrecked in a storm in 1903
