Foothills

I like the idea of a series of sketches from the road between Christchurch and our place in North Canterbury at Mt. Lyford – this one is from a photo looking back as we went home last time in the late evening. Just after Waiau I think.
I watched a video of David Hockney last night – really liked it. One painting “Mulholland Drive” was discussed and I appreciated the way he can give an artists impression of an experience. Perhaps this sort of sketch (though with the robotic Cyclops eye) might lead to me being able to do a hotter version – one with my experience in it more fully.
For all that this one has an emerging signature in it, one that I can now see in a few of the landscapes. I have not finished exploring this style!

Dead Flax stalks – last year’s flowers
#178 Dead_Flax
I began with plain graphite, but clicked colour in error & let it be.
The stalks have been in wind, sun, rain, snow & sleet for about a year, they are dried & bleached and weathered greay in places. They will soon compost themselves.

Manuka comining into Flower
#177 Manuka
I have been going about three months and have earlier Manuka sketches of the old seed heads, but now the new buds are out and some are in flower.
This is in faux pencil on faux moleskine and it looks best shrunk down in size… the power of digital manipulation!

Stella Saddle
#175 Stella Saddle
Mostly sketched with the pen set to oil. Learning how to do sky. It worked here by having just the right amount of virtual turps in the mix. 100 makes for light and 95 is already quite dark!
This is the view from the stumps up to the saddle where the ski field road goes up to Lake Stella. This view is one that people see when they go on the “Stumps” Horse Trek.
