Saddleback Hill Triptych. Acrylic, ink and charcoal on paper. #abstractpainting #abstractlandscape #surreyheath #simonbirdart
4 of 5 new works underway, all same theme, inspired by winter woods near my home. Interesting week ahead beckons moving these forward to their 'endings'. Not sure how I'll get there, or where 'there' is, but the journey is the thing. #abstractart #abstractlandscape #simonbirdart
Heading to a finished piece. I like the way abstract work has an organic way of working out what it wants to be. Plus a shot of my extra painting tools. Spot the marks made with ink and pine needles. #abstractart #abstractpainting #simonbirdart
New preparatory work 'Flint'. Acrylic, charcoal and graphite on paper. This small stone was locked in ice for millennia, dumped in a river bed when the ice melted, left high and dry when river retreated and picked up by me last weekend. #abstractpainting #simonbirdart
sketch for 'Dormancy' acrylic and charcoal on paper. #abstractart #abstractlandscape #simonbirdart
