I hesitated. It seemed a challenging subject.Then (unlike in the past) I thought wtf…I’m working on this BECAUSE it’s challenging. #clmooc

Emerging from COVID doldrums into the sunlight.
It felt like a big step to take 90 minutes to reconnect with natural flow, water, brush stokes, a bit of scrub, color and play.

@dogtrax Thanks Kevin. You and others in #clmooc and #rhizo14 helped spark all sorts of creativity which led to this visual art. Firstly digital https://t.co/6sk0Sl2BPu and then analogue https://t.co/mKDIkQI8z5 I wouldn’t be sharing this without you all. You helped me discover my voice.

“Wall Box Corte” 2021
A4 #watercolorpainting #clmooc
Walking along a Corsican path in November 2017, my attention was captured by a decaying reddish metallic box fixed to a rock wall in Corte.The time taken studying it was amplified by the process of painting it.

Le Capitole de Corte
Novembre 2017
On arriving at the top of the path, I had a rather strange feeling of stepping into a magical scene from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

3 different sections of the same path sketched/painted with watercolor in 3 moments.

Stopping to let my eyes wander.
Observing complex relationships between light and shade, color and texture, lichen and rock, grasses and weathered trees. Time to contemplate the way ahead.
