Firstly I will say that my blog is as always a place where I show my weekly arty meanderings, I don't get personal or political. However in the real world I am hugely passionate about politics and how they affect each and every one of our lives.
Within the U.K the past week has been tumultuous, turbulent and tempestuous. I was saved from losing all sense of sensibilities by an email via facebook from a lovely lady in Australia who had seen my collage watching and waiting last year at Skyeworks Gallery when she was on holiday on the island. The original watching and waiting sold but she wondered if I could make something similar.

| watching and waiting |
Started making lots of layers of paper and paint on a 10inch x 10 inch wood panel.
and ...... Mr hare is finished !!
Now on route to his new home. I'm sure the climate will suit him better in Australia, Its a bit stormy in the U.K at present!!
Hoping the next few weeks bring some sort of calm collective perspective.
All of the tiny colored strips coming together like a woven tapestry is absolutely beautiful. I hope here in the U.S. and throughout the world, the rational people can overcome the craziness and bring about some sanity.
ReplyDeleteYour work is so intricate. Looks so interesting. Cant make out where paper ends and colour starts. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWatching and Waiting in blue is simply gorgeous. I can feel your pain as the pain here is similar. Too much rancor. Not enough caring.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful textured painting! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteHello my wonderful friend..this piece is stunning..there is a mesmerizing presence within as well..almost like I can see intricate beads and jewels layered everywhere. Such a gorgeous hare, a deep-enchanted soul!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and hope things get less stormy and brighter days ahead!

This is so gorgeous, the textures, colours, the whole thing just jumps right out at me! Mr hare looks so real and full of such a wise soul. The sky and the fields are amazing and that moon light that lights everything up is totally magical, I'm in awe again here as usual! I do have a preference for this new version, as much as I loved the other one, this one is extra special. The lady who receives this will be so delighted, lucky her! Definitely better to forget politics and create like this!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!! and politics these days is exhausting and scary!
ReplyDeleteOoh, these are beautiful! Lucky lady in Australia 💖💖💖

ReplyDeleteImpressive‼
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF 😆
What a marvelous use of collage. I like the piece in blue ever more than the original. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteSuch a mixture of feelings... I am drooling here over your new piece and saddened by the state of affairs in this world.
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! It's so wonderfully vibrant and of course I love the starry night sky! I always just want to reach into the computer screen and touch your paintings - such texture! Like you, I used art as a distraction (or indeed the news as an inspiration!) the world has gone mad so all we can do it keep on creating!
ReplyDeletethey are both such very beautiful pieces Morag. I know the recipient of your second piece will only be twice as happy about having it. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful!! Love the textures, colors, all the details in int. Just amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

We definately need a distraction from recent events. Mine is watching Wimbledon. How lovely to recieve a commission from Australia. I'm sure the lady will love it.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to all of you at this time. I hear the frustration in so many voices! I don't usually cover politics although it is something I have always followed with verve. Absolutely stunning piece... no doubt it will be loved and admired by many for years to come. So cool knowing your art energy is out in the world! Best to put our passion to the page... it does manifest beautiful things!! Hoping all is rectified soon!Sending love!!

An absolutely beautiful and magical piece of art Morag. I'm certain it will bring much joy in its new home. I thank goodness that I have my art to focus on too during these turbulent times. I don't know how I would survive sometimes without it. Take care and let's hope things become more stable and sensible soon.
ReplyDeleteThe new blue one is absolutely fabulous, I'm sure your lady will love it.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is wonderfully blue, and the landscape is so complex with so much to look at. And of course the hare is really attractive too.
i totally love ur layers...please do share ur techniques....inspirational work
ReplyDeletebeautiful - love the colours and the night time feel x
ReplyDeleteMr. Hare is gorgeous and it's great that he could distract you from the political turbulances, at least for a while.
ReplyDeleteI can see why your Australian friend loved Mr Hare. The new version is utterly magical, like a tapestry of dreams.
ReplyDeleteOh yes what a huge cock up in the UK.....I am very sad about it all too even though I am in USA.
Happy PPF
Oh, that lady will be so pleased. I love both versions, the original one and the new one. I like how you made a similar painting but with different colours. So happy you can find distraction in your art. It sure is a crazy world we're living in. So much anger, so much intolerance, so many lies .... Hope in the end we all find some peaceful solution.
ReplyDeleteI kept exclaiming "Oh, Oh, Oh" as I moved through this great piece. Wow!

They're both just absolutely gorgeous! Love them, all the texture and details, especially in the hare's fur of the second one, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are stunning.
