Literally. Frog Fall, 68 pages of paintings and prose printed in A5 size, is dinky enough to carry in a large pocket or a small bag. Seen here in its spawning ground, this is the link to get yourself a copy. It’s printed on demand by Mixam, price £13.00 plus P&P. © Suzanne Conboy-Hill 2026 Continue reading Frog Fall has dropped
This is the last month of the time-out trimester and I have an ineligible cat painting on the go. I’m using up non-preferred canvases which, inevitably, is leading to some useful changes of style and approach. But first, a pixelation painting just in case focus and resolution become problematic, I’ve got in first. Pixelate 2026. © Suzanne Conboy-Hill 2026 Continue reading Collecting a collection #2
I’m currently on a kind of sabbatical, officially a deferment, but the word brings me out in a rash of Gilbert and Sullivan for some reason, so I steer round it. This runs from January 1st to March 31st, and none of the work I do in this period can be submitted for assessment because, having argued for a break, it would be unfair to allow me to use anything I produce in this time as coursework since no one else is getting those extra three months. This doesn’t mean stopping, though, and how easy would that be in any … Continue reading Collecting a Collection #1
Water soluble oils on 40x30cm canvas. This started life as a relatively tame field scene; then along came the sky, the sea, and the large object in the sky. The camera picks it out, the eye doesn’t – not at … Continue reading “Moonrise”
While the actual book, Frog Fall, makes its way through the publication system, here’s Punk Fall featuring a drenched version of the original. Materials? One proof copy, a bucket of water, and a raid on PowerDirector’s effects cupboard. Audio is … Continue reading Punk Fall
The blue winter light is affecting the photo, although, that said, it is meant to be a view from the seabed. Birds are essential to our survival. This is what they do for us: Handmade bird silhouette from an earlier … Continue reading The bird poop picture
This began life as a painting of a doll dressed in some sort of national costume. It was a useful bit of practice at faces and detail but not a keeper. This is the start of the eradication process and shows the elements of a big sky and some landscape detail in the bottom third. I worked on it intermittently while making the painting of the yellow crane and forgot to take photos. There was nothing particularly edifying, luckily, although I do like to document process, especially when a transformation happens without warning. In this case, having messed about with … Continue reading Drone
Began as a rejected canvas and found new life as another alternative creation myth! The painting is here and this is the story: When the universe made the first world, she was not pleased with its attitude so she destroyed … Continue reading Singer of Worlds
Below are the videos associated with the images in the book; in order, front to back, just in case the AR (augmented reality) doesn’t work for you. Expect audio! Below are the B FROG FALL – FRONT COVER ADUR RIVER … Continue reading Frog Fall video layers
This is an initial exploration of merging static images with moving ones, along with a prose* poetry audio track. These are old paintings, but they’ve given me some ideas. All of the elements are my own. *Every time I mention prose poetry, I look it up but I still have no idea. My working definition is that it involves text that doesn’t claim to be a poem but is structured similarly, uses words in a poetic manner – some of them unusual, flows like a stream that makes its own banks, and that has none of the rigidity of a … Continue reading Films and animations of paintings
