'The Fox and the Fable' An Original Watercolour Painting
SOLD
‘The Fox and the Fable’
Layers of grey and rust watercolour shapes scatter across the paper, this is a piece with a bit of breathing room,. The push and pull of shapes spreading out yet grouping together. An experiment with a different colour palette
About ‘Open’
In ‘Open’ a series of watercolour on paper, you see built-up layers of irregular transparent shapes. These abstract pieces were painted over many sessions, leaving each layer to dry then responding to the layer underneath. Often parts of the painting become blurred and the layers themselves lose definition, many forming a whole. The colour in each piece becomes important building references to known things such as the sky or water in the blue pieces and for me, the red pieces reference blood, love, and loss.
I love the way each painted shape is never uniform and that in seeking a perfect paint mark I find that accepting a wonky shape is perfect as it is, all paint marks are imperfectly perfect. In this series, I’ve allowed myself to open to my urges to go inward and I’ve chosen to frame this in a positive light rather than fall into the negativity I sometimes hear about introversion and spending time alone.
‘The Fox and the Fable’ is a watercolour painting on Hot Press watercolour paper, it is unframed.
*Please indicate in the notes if you would like me to add my signature and the name of the piece to the front of the piece. All pieces are signed on the back for record keeping. This piece can be portrait or landscape
Open is a sub-series from my ‘Islands of Mine’ Collection
About ’Islands of Mine’
This is the first release from an investigative series I’ve titled ‘Islands of Mine’ these pieces are me searching, me seeking inward for solitude and quiet. An attempt to gain some understanding of the need I feel at times to isolate and create my own ‘island’ A need to communicate to others how confusing and annoying it is to not be understood and not understand others at times and suffering from social anxiety. So I’ll make ‘islands’ of my own to comfort myself.
The Fox and the Fable has been presold ahead of the collection release. If you are interested in a piece in this style and colour way please get in touch and we can talk about a commission for you.
