Paintings in progress - stage 6




The detail (middle image) is dedicated to that idiot, Rowan Williams, Archibishop of Canterbury, for allowing his major orifce to dribble continuously, without let or hindrence, filling the air with pungent spume.

I still need to title these two paintings. The top painting (A) is something to do with heroism and I want to pay tribute to Russian writers, such as Bulgakov who have dealt with this theme. The picture owes something to constructivism and art of the 20s.

The second is about fertility. I have considered titles such as "The Garden of Earthly Delights".

If you have any suggestions for titles let me know.

Paintings in Progress - stage 5




I've tightened up the details, but more detail is still needed in both.

Neither picture has been especially popular on Flickr, perhaps because they lack the sort of clear singular images that make things stand out there.

The Yellow painting (B) makes me think of Bertie Basset. I like long titles, and may call it, "The Hero on his way to even Greater Glory". I like the Russian-ness of the title- the painting takes some things from Malevich and Rodchenko.

The Green (A) has much to do with growth and fertility. I may call it "The Garden of Earthly Delights, or Weird and Kinky"
