Slow Down and Look

I am a full-time artist working at home in Stonehaven, N.E. Scotland: selling work as a painter, writer and maker both online and through local exhibitions.

I am trained but prefer to remain UNTAMED, Unframed, Unconstrained and Unconventional. Here you will see art in progress: you can buy my finished paintings etc through the gallery link on the right ~ Bern Ross

Exciting New Work

Like most other artists, I always work on several ideas at the same time. It's great to have something that needs finishing, especially when I know what it needs. It's great, too, to have a new canvas (or even a used one) that requires covering with whatever I feel like putting on it! And I love the challenge of 'making it work' when something I've created doesn't look right and needs some attention.

Here is one of my popular line drawings, normally created on paper in a smooth flowing black line during a hunch of inspiration; but this one is on canvas - simple, clean, lightweight and ready to hang with a cord or with mirror-plates. It is a black oil paint line on a white vinyl silk background. It needs a little more work on it (I have an idea...) but I have to wait for the oil paint to dry before I can try it.

And this red canvas has been prepared with texture and paint using ONLY MY HANDS as tools... You JUST WAIT to see what beauty adorns it now! .... soon to be displayed on my Affordable British Art Gallery

Love the simplicity of black line on white.
