Women victims of domestic violence: a series of pastel paintings
A3 pastel paintings made as part of a series about the effects of repeated concussions (CTE – chronic traumatic encephalopathy) on brain function. Recognised in sports such as rugby and football where concussion time-out is now mandatory, reluctantly in boxing, and barely at all in women victims of domestic violence who have no time-out and… Continue reading Women victims of domestic violence: a series of pastel paintings
If you can’t find a gallery that fits …
You just have to build your own! The problem with augmented art is it needs connectivity or it isn’t going to be augmented, and while I make the paintings as standalone as possible, I add the AR as a way for it to speak in a different voice. So it’s a bit like turning up… Continue reading If you can’t find a gallery that fits …
Pepperscoombe Advent Windows
It’s our second year doing this – making a display in a window and ‘unveiling’ it on our allotted night at 6.30 pm – and from the look of them, I swear some people have been working on theirs since Boxing Day last year! Proceeds this year go to Forward Facing which is a registered… Continue reading Pepperscoombe Advent Windows
Last post for this module and also Level 5
The results are in and, although I’m well underway with the first level 3 module, it’s a relief to have this officially landed at 75%. Again, thanks are due to my tutor for excellent support – always delivered with humour and insight as to my developing directions. This is where I am now https://conboyhillpracticeandresearch.wordpress.com/ and… Continue reading Last post for this module and also Level 5
Probably my best ever photo
22nd November. Taken a few days ago and since it’s attracted a certain amount of attention on social media, I’m posting it here for the sake of provenance. This is a footpath locally running alongside a bypass but you’d never know it from this view. There is deeply mulched ground on either side that fills… Continue reading Probably my best ever photo
Village Advent 2022
I should probably keep these posts private till it’s all done and dusted in the remote chance that my neighbours are subscribed to this blog. Last year was a shot in the dark; I’d no idea what to expect, but I did what I thought would fit the bill. I’d just discovered Artivive too and… Continue reading Village Advent 2022
Repainting the painting of the unpaintable
I decided I’d finished this yesterday, but really I knew I hadn’t. It grew out of one palette, drew on another, then morphed into a theme that needed the first. And I’d rushed the video. So I began picking away at it, finding the story, bringing out the face of the figure in the water… Continue reading Repainting the painting of the unpaintable
HM Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022
Scroll down for details. Her father was King till I was four. We had no TV so there were very few images of him for any of us to remember. Then this very young woman came to the throne and our school sat us on a grass verge with flags to wave as a large… Continue reading HM Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022
Painting the unpaintable because it’s already exquisite
Well, to learn you have to challenge yourself and, after sitting in front of a screen for what feels like months (about four days!) getting to grips with Adobe Aero and After Effects, I absolutely had to paint something. Generally, I like a large space with lots of room for arm waving, but I chose… Continue reading Painting the unpaintable because it’s already exquisite
Welcome to London; twinned with Arrakis since 2042
