Voyage of discovery

This is the first abstract watercolour I have attempted in a while when I first painted the background and then the subject.

It features part of a purple to pink airhead against a graduated background of green through yellow to orange with sponged decoration.

I am pleasantly surprised with the result.

Airhead uploading to the cloud

On 12 November 2023, ambitiously, I attempted to paint a watercolour of a cloud formation in the shape of Airhead against a pale blue sky. I had not considered the overall objective of the work. Being unhappy with the result, I set it side.

A couple of weeks ago, the prospect of running out of paper and a relatively successful painting of airhead in repose two months’ later led me to add to the cloud picture.

I am pleased with the result, Airhead uploading to the cloud.

Airhead in repose

This watercolour started out as a stylised tree form, nothing more.

For the past eight months, I have repeatedly sketched a Buddha-eque figure. It is based on a photograph of me sitting on a bed taken in May 2023.

I have edited some of the sketches in Google Snapseed and posted them on Instagram. Some people on there have offered to buy them as ETFs. Whatever they are.

I reduced the size of the head of the figure so that the focus of the image is on the body. In one of the iterations of the head, I added a hoop and ‘airhead’ was born. I consider myself a little like a fool or airhead on a hill. Always looking for the greener grass.

Also, I have a tendency to over think things; all I needed to do was sit the figure on a hillock under the tree.
