Lawnmowing (13)
Medium: charcoal and acrylic on prepared paper Size: 59 x 84cm.
Part of the May Day project - 31 new concepts created one each day for the month of May. This is a type of project that I set myself often, it is designed to stimulate new ideas and to paint loosley - cutting the fat and fiddle time by putting a time limit on the work. The idea is not to produce good painting, but to push myself into new areas via stress and time pressure.
Each prepared paper substrate measures 59 x 84cm.
Part of the character of the study works is the stray pin holes, brush hair, coffee cup stains, folds and creases that form in their use as a reference tool. As a consequence, these sketches may have the usual wear of a working drawing - this is part of their narrative.
