Tuesday 01. 09. 15 Et voilà the “refreshed”coffee table. Now I just have to wait until the paint is dry before varnishing it!
Busy day
Saturday 29. 08.15 After coffee at Les Négociants with George and Laurene. Le Monde, I finally got started on the coffee table.
Coffee table still life
Thursday 27. 08. 15 Worked today on my coffee table. It is an Ikea table in some kind of bleached pseudo wood and I’ve never really liked it. I have decided to do a still life on it, a kind of trompe d’oeil of the usual clutter.
An experiment
Saturday 22. 08. 15 Because I have enjoyed drawing Le Rhônel I thought that I would try a drawing on canvas and then paint it with thin glazes allowing the drawing to show through. The above is the result. I think more experiments are in order.
Le Rhônel
Saturday 22. 08. 15 I have finally finished the drawings and have put them all in a gallery on the website.
Boules
Thursday 20. 08. 15 I think that this is finally finished.
After the rain
Saturday 15. 08.15 This is the normal state of the canal. Quite a contrast!
Le Rhônel drawings
Friday 14.8.15 Started a series of 12 drawings on parchmount 35 x 50 cm which I will paint over in oils. I have done 7 so far.
Plein
Thursday 13. 08. 15 There was a storm today at midi which showed le Rhônel in full spate!
Nîmes
Wednesday 12. 08. 15 Drove to Nîmes yesterday with Claire to celebrate her birthday. Saw an interesting expo called Biographical Forms and then had a delicious lunch also at the Carrée d’Art.
