Top Path, Bishops Court Glen
Monday, February 15th, 2010“Top Path, Bishops Court Glen”
Monotype 1/1. Image size 400x400mm
A gentle spiral leads in from the wild garlic bank on the left and across the shadowed path. The ascending sunlit leaves of the saplings on the right carry the loop on over the path via the middle ground foliage, through the dark tree trunks to the full sunlight of an open clearing beyond. All the elements lead us to the pleasure of the warmth of full, open sunlight.

Monotype 1/1. Image Size 400x400mm.
The light seems to slide around the saplings as they rise slender limbed to whip like branches. These tipped with half furled illuminated leaves, give a faery dance of light to the wild garlic bedecked glade. A compelling contrast to the ivy clad evergreen trunks, drinking the light in with an exact measure of their mighty trunks.

Rock Pool 2
Monday, February 15th, 2010“Rock Pool 2”
Monotype 1/1. Image size 400x400mm
The weight of the black rock blended with the silvery lightness of the smoother rock is a wonderful counterpoise. It has the underpinning design of an apposite “yin-yang” composition. This integrated complexity is the fractal quality inherent in the universe and it is this quality that has risen to the surface as the subject in this work of an almost abstracted nature.

Crashing Waves, Seascape
Monday, February 15th, 2010“Crashing Waves, Seascape”
Monotype 1/1. Image size 400x400mm.
Swathed in sun-kissed crashing waves the cliffs and craggy rocks below, a delightful stormy bright day. Though tousled sheeps wool is caught fast to briar still, this is a good day to blow the cobwebs away.
This view is from the coast between Port Grenaugh and Santon Gorge on the Island. Many of the Seascapes I have made into monotypes so far are from this beautiful stretch of coastline.

Rock Pool 1
Thursday, February 11th, 2010“Rock Pool 1”
Monotype 1/1. Image Size 400x400mm
Fertility and awesome rite of passage to this world leaps to meet the eye in this visceral work. The body of rock baring the scars and patina of birth. Belly cupping the waters of life brimming with potentiality. A birthing pool replenished by sun on the sea. The Moon, tidal midwife in attendance.

Port Cornaa, Seascape
Thursday, February 11th, 2010“Port Cornaa, Seascape”
Monotype 1/1. Image size 400x400mm
The precise line of the distant horizon accumulates clouds.Waves tumble toward the foreshore of the beach at Port Cornaa. Their steady swell backed march foiled only by a line of black rocks, the reaching arms of which are hugging a wave to spray.

Path Toward the Light
Thursday, February 11th, 2010“Path Toward the Light, Bishops Court Glen”
Monotype 1/1. Image size 400x400mm
A grassy carpet picked out with tiny points of flickering light. A lattice mesh of saplings and the canopy of leaves makes for a shady passage. The sparkling tear drop brought into focus by the cool dark tunnel is foreshadowed by the fallen tree trunk, marking the way into open sunshine.

Incoming Tide, Rock Pool 3
Thursday, February 11th, 2010“Incoming Tide, Rock Pool 3”
Monotype 1/1. Image size 400x400mm.
A cleft between split boulder and sea smoothed bedrock admits the action of a gentle influx of tidal waters. The shadows allow the scene to be, protected from being exposed to the full force of the blistering light beyond.
