Back at work

I have been back in my office for a while but it seems that the year is now fully kicked in. Keeping the sketches going will be quite a challenge – one that I will meet – I am committed and have a lot of energy for it. Another area of my work life is doing psychotherapy online. That is also building up again for the year.

Psychotherapy Online – I have opened my book for new clients – it has been closed for most of 2006 as I had a full case load.

I have a bunch of sketches to post, maybe later tonight!

Paula Rego – Painter

#317 Rego

This is from an image of Paula Rego from a video. I loved seeing her work & story in that film. What I learnt was that paintings could be very like a Psychodrama – with multiple time frames and scenes that deal with & resolve the past. Surplus reality as Moreno called it. Maybe that is on the agenda here, but then again the whole of Thousand Sketches is a Psychodrama – look at the previous post for example.

This portrait was consciously influenced by Alex Katz work, who I blogged recently. In the post about him are a lot of images – I have not looked at them since I made that post – there is something for me to learn from him.

I have also been inspired by Laura of LauraLines who is working on a project to do 101 faces.

Young

Doodling while listening to Neil Young. This is perhaps the last in the series I did beginning #0058, while they are fun to do, and I like to revisit various styles, I think I have done my dash with these.

This is Celmesia Lyallii, I think I have that right from my days as an assistant to Hugh Wilson when he was surveying the plants of the Mt Cook region in the late ’60s, early ’70s.

Lillies

This is not really a Lily, but a buttercup. Ranunculus Lyallii

it is iconic in New Zealand and iwas the emblem for Mt Cook Airlines and buses until Air New Zealand took them over. I want to find one of those old logos, can’t find it on the web.

I was pleased to find these on my walk up to the Ball Shelter.

A while back I made a podcast while looking at this view, noticing the triangles. I said I’d draw it then, and I have.
