My North second series

So , this week I have returned to visit my small ,' Northern ,' images......' Memories in paint,'........have had a lovely week in paint but have found this time round I am more critical of the images that I produce....perhaps inevitable.....these are this weeks that have made it through the first round ( there were lots that didn't ) ...I was undecided about whether to title them or not....I wanted the images to be ambiguous and open to interpretation so felt that the titles had to reflect that, obviously , so , different from the first series where I had been very specific about the titles of the images.......the last couple of days, I had wanted to lighten my palette ....often the Northern stuff is dark and gloomy in colour and tone....

These are all 15 cm sq.

No 1 ' Space.'

No 2 ' Parktime.'

No 3 ' Sunday holiday.'

No 4 ' Holiday.'

No 5 ' Textures.'

No 6' Street layers.'

No 7, ' Flecks of colour.'

No 8, ' Street layers.'

No 9, ' Alleyways.'

No 10, ' Faded.'

No 11, ' The future.'

No 12, ' Whitsuntide.'

No 13, ' Time.'

No 14 ' Summertime,' a favourite today.....but that's often because it's the latest I have painted.....mmmm....it will be a different story tomorrow !

All the ones to date. It's helpful to put them up together to see if they fit together as a whole, see if there are any emerging patterns / shapes/ recurring themes.....

Each time I paint, I do set off with a little challenge to myself....in the early ones, I had tried to leave bolder brush strokes alone and still showing.....later this week , I had wanted to alter my palette and bring in brighter colours....with some success...

A relatively modest collection of Golden fluid acrylics. Love them for these smaller pieces. They glaze with the golden glazing liquid but are naturally opaque. Love them ( well today )
