Looking and Seeing

I have been busy this week working on the face of a painting that was started some time ago.  I felt it needed a pair of brown eyes to give it more of a focus point.

I was also out and about in the City.  While there I left one of my feathers on a building and then watched the people rushing around looking at maps and routes but not really looking at the city.  I'm wondering if the feather is still there.

Hot

It must be the warm weather that is influencing my work as the new painting has a lot of hot colours.  There is still a small amount of blue that is not visible from this detail but as I usually never follow the initial idea in my head fully, it may all change.

More Girls

The champagne bottles I painted the other week have gone out into the street as free art.  It felt odd leaving them in places as they seem to have their own personalities - a bit like saying goodbye to a child.  I then collected some new bottles to paint.  Being made of glass they are quite fragile and yet heavy to carry around so just as well some of them already have homes to go to.  

  

More Free Feathers

My new set of free art is finished and going out into the streets.  I intend to keep this as an on going project as they are fun to make and I can experiment with different looks.  I left one near Bank station yesterday while rushing to catch a train.  I like to think that someone has taken it home with them this weekend and has placed it on a shelf or mantelpiece to enjoy.
