With a three-week window before our next group exhibition at the Eagle Gallery, I decided to re-access some photos I’d taken behind the White Horse pub and eatery in Tea Green near Luton. I felt a dramatic skyscape would inspire a palette knife ‘splatterfest’ which could generate a finished painting with some haste.
I printed out several choice images, and was strangely drawn to this one. There was a lot of sky to choose from and potentially this close up reduces the excitement of the view. But somehow the strata like aspect, and colour areas felt apt for communication in paint.
With such little “plot” going on if you like, every expressive swish of the brush seemed more key to its success. I think I’m pleased with the outcome, but I’m sure with the passing of time a clearer assessment can be made. Also as a side note I did use up a lot of paint!
