Studio 365: Day 50

Day 50viii

Guildford Cathedral Revisited.

After yesterdays’s collages, I thought I would revisit an image I found in one of the studio drawers. In fact it was a stencil I had made of a stained glass window in Guildford Cathedral in England.

Day 50 v     Day 50 iv

I had photographed the window some years ago at a time I was using stained glass imagery in my paintings. Here is the photograph…

Day 50

…and here is the resulting painting…

Excited by yesterday’s collages this is the collage for today’s Guildford Cathedral Revisited using torn pieces from previous stained glass window paintings.

Studio 365: Day 26

New York i

So much for our visit to New York today and the Matisse exhibition tomorrow, which we had to cancel with Winter Storm Juno blanketing the East Coast tonight. Instead here’s my expression of New York with a collage I created after a visit in 1993, a visit which was also for a Matisse exhibition.

Day 26 i

“The first time I saw America, I mean New York, at 7 o’clock in the evening, this gold and black block in the night, reflected in the water, I was in complete ecstasy.  Someone near me on the boat said: It’s a spangled dress, which helped me to arrive at my own image. New York seemed to me like a gold nugget”

 from, Henri Matisse statements on travel to Tériade, 1929

Wishing those of you in the gold nugget city warmer days to come soon.
