This artwork, using acrylic and indian ink, has been developed from sketches made at Cocklespit beach. There is a mass of shells, whole and crushed that remain above the tide line – amongst these grow some larger shrubby plants but most are small.

Summer exhibition
I am going to take a look at the summer exhibition 21st July – 24th August at the Sculpt Gallery, Tiptree, Essex, uk. Visit http://www.sculptgallery.com/ for opening times.
Colour is a significant element in my acrylic and ink paintings but space and line is also just as important.
More ink
Using acrylic ink and indian ink in the development of new artwork. This one was made earlier in the year ready to exhibit in the Burnham Art Trail June 2013.
Ink art work – Seed head – endings and beginnings
Endings and beginnings
- This year I have discovered fluidity and permanence of colour with acrylic ink. This is a joy to use enabling me to create in a fairly short time scale, a further range of artworks on the theme of Seedhead – endings and beginnings.An exhibition space in a very sunny library window during the Burnham Art Trail 2012 required lightfast colour and light weight artworks. More work was developed and exhibited in the Summer of Art marquee at the Sparks Will Fly festival in Hylands Park and later in the Maldon Art Trail.
The black drawn element of the artwork is Indian ink, again very lightfast and permanent. Due to the application of medium this may appear to be a print but it is a painting using watercolour techniques and masking out with poster paint to place the indian ink.
I have found this is a good route for freeing up my output, making some of the backlog of ideas out and visible.
