I start with this strange pastel drawing. Where did it come from?
The work started with this photo of a crumpled drape-
Tones and colours were altered
and it was turned through 90 degrees. Then colours were changed.
Turned again-
Colours and aspect altered again, producing the image that I drew from-
Here is the pastel again.
I have taken many photos around the home. This one involves a self portrait.
Enhancing the colour and lightening the shadows-
I did this pastel study from the above
Further experiments on the computer lead to more extreme abstraction
And this-
I like images that emerge without edges from a sea of coloured dots. I wonder if a Pointillist painting or a collage may be possible ????
