Unfinished

I have a couple of projects on the go but one of them needs to be complete before mid October. And it is going slowly.

It started when I was sorting a piece of artwork for a project… You must remember? It was this piece…

It was the first time I had folded Bristol board around a canvas…

That got me thinking and I found I wanted to do more work like that. I like the fact there is no glass between the viewer and my artwork. So I set out to start a new piece. One that meant I could focus on bigger pieces of art. Up to now I have been limited by what I could afford to get framed. But this meant I wasn’t limited by anything.

I had an old drawing. It was a year old and I didn’t know what to do with it… But with some thought I came up with Angst…

I think it works great. It is done using pencil and ink… That pattern was really difficult though.

But that brings me to the unfinished piece. I have even named it – Self-Portrait and Others – but it has stalled. Predominantly because of the rain. I need a dry day to spray the fixative before I can fold the board around the mini canvas. Each canvas is 7 cm square and they go to make up a whole. I love it but it is no where near finished…
