Today’s #arteachday post on Twitter was this large “field” drawing. Ask me about the title if you visit me during Dorset Art Weeks!

Tideline Too
Slightly All The Time
No. Really. It is there! You have to look very carefully and maybe click on it to enlarge, but it is there. You can perhaps see why I have been struggling to get good photographs of my work! This was today’s #arteachday posting on Twitter and I immediately had a reply from someone that they couldn’t see anything! Admittedly it is a bit minimalist but I can see it standard size on my PC. It is another of my repetitive “field” drawings. For those of you who still can’t see it here is a detail:
The Dream’s Malfunction
A Small Homage to Max Ernst
I finally managed to get a half-decent photograph of this one that I did 10 or so days ago. I have been really stuggling to get things correctly reproduced but I am getting some that are good enough for now. My interest in Max Ernst has been renewed because of my collage work, but this recurring theme in his work of the moon or sun disk has been haunting me for a while.
Gate Gap Chase Bait
Today’s #arteachday piece to gather in the May-o is this little A5 drawing of ink on Somerset paper glued onto a stiffer watercolour paper. Goodness knows where the title came from. It originally had a quite different title but then I started to think about the word gap and its connection to gate and how gate is the Norwegian for road and that a gate was originally the gap, the gateway, rather than the thing that closes the gap and Maypoles and…
A struggling day today!
Things don’t always go smoothly and as I have been on a roll recently it’s only to be expected that I’m due a challenging day. I recorded on the #Letter365 post how my first attempt for today’s piece had not a single redeeming feature! And later how my other work tumbled after it while the new #Letter365 came out OK.
Well this piece above evolved before all that, before the day went downhill a bit. I didn’t realise that its title and my state of being coincided until someone pointed it out! The piece right is a little experiment in the same vein in one of my sketchbooks.
Today the dots have it
If you have followed my #Collage365 project or seen any of my “Personal Reflections” photos, you will have seen that I have a bit of a thing about dots and circles. Well today they turned up in one of my abstract drawings.
I will aim to get some of my photos up on this site soon but here is one to give you the idea:
