A Pop-up Exhibition- Praia Brava, 3 December

*

The artist being assisted by the capable Miss J. Sekula.

Many thanks to Jolantha and Julia Sekula for organising this evening dedicated to my work at their lovely house in Praia Brava.

Despite wind, rain and a lengthy power failure, the evening was well attended, very enjoyable and resulted in several sales. Thanks to all who managed to make their way despite the challenges involved.

Over the last few weeks, I`ve been systematically evaluating my work over the last six years, and the display showed work covering this span of time, from a variety of places and in a range of treatments. In future shows,  I will have more framed work, and probably a narrower focus.

 Choosing pictures.

Paintings from Egypt, Bolivia and a still life among others

Clilean and Uruguayan and Roman paintings.

Landscapes from Pompeii, and Santa Catarina

Pictures from Palhoca, Sao Francisco and Florianopolis.

Paintings from Bolivia and Alfredo Wagner among others

Pre-Christmas Sale selection

 *

Today's pre-Christmas Sale selection begins with three still lives, then four Catarinense pictures.

These still lives are very difficult to get right: this is partly due to the context in which they are made. When you're painting outside your session is limited by changes in atmospheric conditions; inside, your session is longer and allows reign to any dissatisfaction. 

Notions of speed, completeness, spontaneity and instinct are central to the working processes I've developed over the years, and if travel paintings produced in  transience develop one aspect of this, then still life develops another.

The year is coming to a close: tomorrow I host a little pop-up exhibition of my pictures up in the north of the island. I shall try to do a little Santa Catarina trip before the year ends: I didn't travel as much I would have liked this year, and I feel seedy as a result.

Pre-Christmas Sale

Today's selection from the pre-Christmas sale.

The pochades on this site are currently on sale at a price of 70 UK pounds each- a reduction of over 30%.


Except for Serrana, today's selection is entirely from southern Brazil: it's a more cheerful set of images painted on my various erambulations in Santa Catarina an Rio grande do Sul.

Republishing these brings me a certain nostalgia and I shall try to go somewhere this Christmas period.

Pre-Christmas sale of pochades

*

Today's selection is from Santa Catarina and Sao Paolo state, with a foray to Italy.

These are from the first three years of my working in this small format: the colours are muted and  the effect is slightly romantic. I was much under the influence of Corot, one of the many wonderful traveler painters of the 19th century (a rich cultural phenomenon almost totally destroyed by photography) and this is most obviously reflected in the, perhaps stereotypical, image from Pompeii. 

I sometimes look back over work and think of returning to work in such a style, but I think that would in a creative sense be a mistake, an act of retreat. They do, however, renew my interest in travel, in places and describing the feelings that places evoke.
