This one is back to “ArtRage Pastels”. Technically it reminds me of two others. Black Birch stream, from which I can learn more about developing the strokes & the colour, and Hill Lines where there is something about abstraction & line I want to develop. Maybe those represent two directions.
Look at these great ones by Jared Shear

As with circles I am repeating an idea. See Moonlight Flax. I am quite taken with that old one. I think more repetition might be a good thing here. Get me off circles.

Harekeke, New Zealand Flax. I feel connected with it and just took a swag of photos on our recent walks. More coming up.
This one like the earlier Circle was one where I found the final image by deleting layers, and also by changing the original colour from a heavy black to this golden colour, which really suits this particular subject, this particular flax that is, the variety of the remnants after seeding is enormous. Some are very black. The exploring was satisfying!
This one is printed to suit a 10 x 8 frame and has collage of (treated) dried flax material.

This image is availalable printed in a limited edition. It is available exclusively on Felt, a New Zealand Art & Craft website.
I went to the “Art of the Nation” at Te Papa and I had a good time. Loved the Hoteres, the Woollastons, one or two of the McCahons and Rembrandt’s etchings. God knows why these, they were ones that gripped me. The item on the cover of the booklet is a painting by Pat Hanly.
I was already in the middle of this sketch, as Hanly was in the Hotere video, they were mates it seems. He is one of the big names in New Zealand.

My friend Sandra showed me John’s book today. I love the work, the concept & the people’s stories. John Badcock is a New Zealand artist who does not live all that far from Christchurch where I live. A few hours drive away to Geraldine.
