dartmouth avenue week 4

so this week i spent a fair portion of my time painting, im steadily becoming more comfortable with using oils.. i had never before got round to playing with linseed oil which is a little step closer to the vague visions of some kind of organic stained glass quality i would like to achieve. so heres some shots of progress and also, some ideas for the presentation of the work... i want to use various fabrics and materials to first and foremost break up the infuriatingly dull and done white backdrop but more importanting to me at least give the images a sort of cultural reference point or some depth subtle depth of narrative.




the week was briefly interjected with woodworking when time and location allowed. i want to try making some slightly less orthodox stretchers as a working tool for the angles and also as frames to try out a few ideas with strings and this organic stained glass thing. as well as these, i decided to make a more substantial laminated panel seeing as i found it interesting working on the small one and i would like to try again with more room to maneuver.
