(Bamboo Dreams) 12/4/14, acrylic paint & pastel on paper
One more new painting to add to the collection.
I have been trying to push myself recently in order to finish this one, perhaps if I was a full time artist I might of have it dune quicker but at the moment I am working full time with another job so I only have the evenings and weekends to concentrate on my artwork. I started this one at about the beginning of September 2013 and finished on the 12th April 2014 however in the space of that time I was also working on other paintings.
Bamboo Dreams is a serial title for this piece but I felt it was relevant as I showed this picture to a friend and she said it reminded her of bamboo. I like how these paintings can be interpreted differently by other people and as mentioned before the built environment is just a catalyst just like Stonehenge that also forms part of my inspiration. So it hoped that that the paintings can also become something else and take on new meanings. Just like looking at Stonehenge you can recognise architectural features but on the other hand the monument is very open to new meanings and identities as there is no one who can clearly explain to you exactly what it is therefore its left open to interpretation.
