Bell in a Tree

Comments

I like how the various shapes echo each other, Derek. The composition is super.

Impressive Derek, getting the shape of the bell, must have been really difficult. Love the impression of thick paint, and the colours really compliment each other. Nice one.

Great shapes and tones Derek, a real feeling of strength in the beams and the bar holding the bell, smashing piece of work.

This is tremendous. Full of energy. Have tried one of those Catalyst things Satu was talking about?

Lovely colours. Something special about it.

Amazing what you can achieve Derek. Next time someone gets snobby about kit I will remember your work. Very well executed.

Cheers Billy. Looking again at it the bell looks almost translucent, but not sure I will tweak it

Thanks also Gudrun and Shirley, no haven't tried them and forgot all about them. That's me.

32 x 24cms on paper. Liked this free image on Wet Canvas. Printed in B&W gave me freedom to muck about a bit. All created with the credit cards, so quite chuffed with the curved bell.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
