"Resolution" resolved

As it turns out there was very little to do to finish "Resolution". You may not notice anytning different. I simply added a few dark marks throughout to balance the painting. The two photos show the finished painting and a close up of some of the marks added.

Resolution

This is one of my current paintings “Resolution”. I have been working on it on and off for many months and feel that it is near completion. Unfortunately I don’t have images of its progress but will post the completed work.

Resolution refers to decisions made, problems solved and emotions examined and explained.

I really like this painting and enjoyed the painting process – perhaps the reason that it took so long! There are many, many layers, subtle marks and symbols: the palette is very limited and quite subdued. The colours used are indigo, white and burnt umber; very sombre to match the mood of the painting.

Noosa Spit

The second painting “Noosa Spit” is one that I completed relatively quickly after a recent boating trip to Noosa. The colours are not my usual ones. They are bright and lively to reflect the beautiful sunny day.

Both paintings are on paper and will be framed without glass. The amount of glaze medium used is sufficient protection

 

When I start the next painting I will post progress images to keep you up to date! http://www.susannebarrett.com.au/
