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

Big Strokes

Back to work and I'm loving it. This is an oil painting with a LOT of texture and it's intended to be quite abstract, at the moment. It's at the stage where I might be tempted to make it a seascape and I would probably be resisting realism if I didn't... but what I want to do is transform reality to make this painting into something special so that the viewer decides how real it is.

Here are two stages:

There's more work to be done but the oil paint will make me wait and leave it to think about instead of being tempted to make it look finished before I've given it enough thought.

I'm disappointed that the photo doesn't show the variety of blues used. Oh well, you get the gist.
