Work In Progress - Nostalgia Series

21/3/2015

Comments

 
Life is busy and I have finally made it to my studio this week to do some creative work. Weeks ago I decided I would cut a spare sheet of MDF board, which had been cluttering up our garage, into painting supports. The preparation of boards as supports is a drawn out process. Owen first had to cut the sheet into the numerous sizes I wanted. I then had to sand edges, then coat surfaces with a sealer. Then it was time for two coats of gesso, including edges. They were finally ready to paint on!

This new series of work on boards is called 'Nostalgia'. Inspired by my recent vintage finds and treasures you have seen on the Inspiration Table. I wish to conjure a sense of a by gone era....perhaps memories from our past.

Here is a photo of the very early base layers...

There are many more layers to go before these pieces will be finished. More updates to follow.

And now I need to let the ink dry before I continue to work on them.....I have learnt from experience that it pays to be patient!
