Ink and wash on paper

This is a cropped section of a bundle of fishing net alongside Mevagisey harbour.

The metal rings are rusting and have beautiful colours and marks on them and inspire other ideas for further works here in other mediums at a later date.

Acrylic and Ink on paper, 18″ x 18″

The inspiration for this series are how feelings and emotions are perceived. As a fibromyalgia and arthritis sufferer for over 25 years I hope to portray what it’s like living with chronic pain and exhaustion. Here hidden and visible layers represent how I felt at the time of working.

Inspired by colour, texture and abstraction I am exploring my perception of personal issues and people close to me.

Acrylic & Ink on Paper, 18″ x 18″

Here I’ve used another cropped image from the original paintingand after layering the paint and colours I worked into the paint and marks with gold ink. The image changes as you move around it, concealing parts and revealing others.

I enjoy the process of applying random brushmarks quickly, then working into the marks in fine detail with ink of pencil.

Here I have used the same technique as in Ocean 7 but on canvas.

The results are slightly different but it still works

for me.

In this painting - again cropped from Ocean 1 painting -

I’ve worked into the brush and knife marks with painted string, ink, gold leaf and paint.

I’m really pleased with the fine pen and ink marks worked into the brush lines

- they are very subtle yet look so lovely (they don’t show up in the photograph

as well as they do in the actual work so I’ve included a close up)

Acrylic & Ink on paper

Another image taken from a cropped section of Ocean 1.

After a base coat I used thin layers of paint pressed onto the paper with

tissue paper and masking tape, I then worked into some of the marks

with more paint - see close up image.

The photo doesn’t do this one justice as it gleams with light and texture.

Acrylic & ink on paper 5″ dia

I have been using circles of paper to press texture into think paint.

Here I have used black ink to emphasise the patterns left behind.

This is just one of many different patterns from a series of work.

Working from a cropped section of the original painting

An ink sketch looking at the connecting points in a group of bubbles. Again, part of a series of work looking at bubbles, (which was inspired by work I did over last summer about the sea.) It is part of a work in process.

Watercolour on paper. Taken from a cropped section of the ink sketch. I love working in watercolour, especially wet in wet – very relaxing!
