I have decided that 2011 is the year to stretch my artistic endeavours and this includes perfecting my watercoour skills to date. I have done a few this year. I was quite pleased with the emerging results of this portrait of Bryce. He say opposite me at lunch and at the conclusion of the meal he reluctantly posed for another study. I promised him...'ONLY FIVE MINUTES", so he obliged me. I went to a FAUVRES exhibition over ten years ago at AGNSW. This art was liberating in that faces no longer had to be flesh coloured. They could now be purple, blue, green. I quite loved the art of this era. It was bold and dramatic. It gave itself licence to "be itself" and it was a little fun. I feel it may have inspired my art today.
