A Few Orange things |
Sometime after the Christmas, in one of my shopping opportunities in charity shops, I picked up these two unusual vases. They are streaky grey with orange splodgy spots in a few places. My studio is full of vases and if I never drew anything else, I could draw and draw my vases. I am a collector intending to use all of my objects sometime in some way in something I make. I'm a bit obsessed.
I have a few things I want to submit to (in a few weeks) and I'm sort of trying to make work for those. In a nod to a recent exhibition where objects were on display along with output, I set up my subject trying to do three things: use those vases, make art that is on my mind now and use colour differently. This drawing is my standard 16.5 x 16.5 cm. It is mostly what I saw, except the blue horizon at the top was parallel to the book spine and that didn't work.
