Artalogue

This is the first prototype save of my art catalogue.

  • Open the array to view any thumbnail larger
  • Close the image to return to the array. Sorry they are not bigger but it seems better to be a preview like in a catalogue that might be your own.
  • Push the array button again if you wish to toggle back to the table.
  • If you wish to view a range of pictures then they can be listed by the number

It seems a bit laborious to view from an array but hover over the thumbnail seems too quick so for now this looks good for me. Say the name of the image as you open it and it will seem like magic.

6brazil 50cm x 40cm Large Watercolour 2004 (S)Big file (C)3I envisaged a wilderness of trees to remote distinctive peaks and the country most similar to the unknown with such a size gave it the name

11kinnanamor 60cm x 45cm Large Acrylic (S)HallA very old idea that worked in half an hour but took a long time to reproduce again once any detail of the mist was focused on.
12meetingpath 41cm by 30cm Large AcrylicWhen I wasn't managing the style or scene I concentrated on the theme and feel I got what I wanted. Hill country and living.
13laigueglia A4 Watercolour 2017Both ways visited dream (Well actually real but delightful) town in large sandy bay
14openjunction 42cm x 30cm WatercolourTheme of open road and perspective requires more open than desired but also I need to work on the vehicles
15raneshut 50cm x 40cm Watercolour 2009 (S)Big file (C)2This is fantasy and the characters are too in their splendid wilderness getaway with somehow a hut as is common and great to find in the mountains there for the walkers and climbers

18thecastle A4 watercolour 2017View to the sea at Cassis
19theduel 50cm x 40cm Large Acrylic (S)HallImagined more futurist and black and white but hard to work out how to share the imagery so went for theme rather than pace
20ventimiglia A4 watercolour 2017Not how I remembered it when I caught the train here in 1999 but part of the long Mediterranean coast all the same where any picture is a good memory to attempt. Migrant scene too on a vast scale this time but Italy was the first country from the East also in 1999 in a way too.
21villeneuve 50cm by 36cm Large Watercolour (S)Artbox (C)2 + prints well smaller Also a very large cliff I encountered several times walking back to Villeneuve, not quite this one I admit but it took the breath away
22voltaggio A4 Watercolour 2017Again live in passing as the steep terrain buried me inland on the journey to and from Cannes
23wierdtrees A4 WatercolourLike giant stalks, whitish in the glaring day and in charge of where they were. A hot break and a sketch necessarily in colour
24envau A4 watercolouryou wish you were better when faced with non stop landscape inspiration like this but at least on that basis you take it away better in your mind for trying some
25envauposter larger watercolourThis was an effort to use light and slight magic realism for the same scene but entirely from home
26marybean A4 Acrylic Narrator meets children and they are briefly engaged in the possibilities of the Mary Bean.

28tadthetooth A4 AcrylicHow tad got away from his own trap but difficult to represent a tooth really so working on the stasis as he is stuck with a seal holding his exit from the sea cave
29albacross A4 watercolour 2000Working on sea patterns as I was in fact working on many things as travels and an ambitious path came to a staggered stop. Renamed from 'Lucky Day' and with this contemplation perhaps you cannot un-name meeting an albatross, yet why not really to now I feel there is stories and tales and options.
30hebrideanshore A4 light watercolourOn Pabbay, sitting on one of many corners that will bring you to the level of the sea. Birds, rocks, cliffs and green. 2002
31waves2 A4 watercolour circa 2004second to make the eternal sea pattern work. Not as good as one but of course restrained by matching on all 4 sides in a small area. A long time before the Calanques trip of 2017
32waves1 A4 watercolour Waves as patterns
33tailorstale 42cm x 30cm Acrylic (S)artboxThe bar scene is based on the bunk bed view from where perhaps you would get the feeling at least if I told you that a great storyteller is secreted away listening to a marvel missing from his array.
34froggattdreaming A4 watercolour highly detailedmuch detail of a more open approach to the gritstone edge than really was there when I repeated the walk again. Space made by dreams perhaps

37stanagegreen A4 watercolour landscapethe vibrant green of the bracken growing over everything
38airdrop1000 A4 watercolour heavy (C)at least 1 and I have a good jpg location at atfth TTThe blend of space, steepness and perspective including the character (me) looked better today and so I treat the schematic to a larger image than the other version
39froggattsky A4 watercolourThose lovely crags are worth catching angles and landscapes and again I sat for this small one. Will I get a large one?
40lotrfight A4 watercolourlocal walking from Clay Wheels Lane to the mystery of old plant still running and woods both ancient and developped a degree or two. This spot was live with sentiment and in the snow somehow though not usually for my time travel to swords and orcs and wickedly hard fighting
41grenwood A4 watercolourlarches in snow in managed Grenoside woods
42bentswhite A4 watercolourfarmland edge of the city in winter

47flank A4 watercolourhas a bigger feel I hope can be seen as felt and worth a bigger picture already laid out
48moorhallres A4 watercolour (S)gift (C)2A lovely walk can be kept in mind or attempted to be drawn. Several visits here always to a different view of size of water or banks or feeling than expected. Perhaps hence making the picture in order to give away but the copies show it needs some work still. Second visit as good however so a theme maybe
49stabb A4 watercolour. see stabbird for acrylic version with birdmemorable for the vastness, what the french call from the large I needed some colour as really it is sensory and hard to paint, not landscape but memory and interpretation anyway. St Abbs Head kinda area where I planted trees one very cold day
50tweedbreeze A4 watercolour small landscapethe movement of the trees is accompanied also by that of long lushish grass and was not so cold at all to sit and paint
51stabbird A4 acrylic the aim to get brightness out of light on moorland, a focus is here in the lay of the image and the clouds I think. Maybe the bird needs lifting
52eastshore Watercolour and pencil Large 76cm x 62cm framed 2004 (S)wall (C)4 53cm by 38cm Lake Garda memories of a stop on the return to the next part of my life and the world too.

53wavesmove A4 watercolourIn the airbnb I caught up with my work, so tired when I returned I am not sure what hit me in Japan despite the logical succession of completed and happy days. Waves theme was back in pictures because I saw the pacific. This was probably begun there, maybe even completed there tbh, not sure
54buccleugh A4 pencil 2000the charming Georgian is it houses of this area near the meadows where I had a small room and a tucked in look out to the street. Grand just by the elegance of the tall ceiling and large stone block respectfulness
55neepsend A4 bit smaller watercolourthe big space feeling of the Don valley draws me to capture how industrial buildings were laid away from the road here
56stagecoach A4 ish bit smaller WatercolourI could not get the view as from the window with height of the Don valley towards Hillsborough but found it quite a good scene the actual yards, rails are a bit wonky

61thelook Large Acrylic 43cm by 28cmfrom Starship Troopers the first one, Diz looks at her beau with his. Crazy satire on war sublimation
62reedstyle Pencil 32cm by 25cmmoody me, few colours and blending shapes but that is what I wanted to draw. Much the reason photographers can do stuff quickly that artists lend to making an effort to find alternative material on the whole I think. Actually reference photo was in the John Hedgecoe book on photography around in my teens
63seals pencil joined pagesI drew seals on the walls at my workplace. It worked when I was popular but the same does not go when the library policemen come after you. I love seals from that time when I learned of Selkies and met them numerous times. This would be the reference drawing for the mural on the wall I think, used again in a few rentals
64sealsatplay A4 pencilphoto references from Scottish Wildlife Trust brochure when living in Ullapool near seals in 1997 or 98
65wolff A4 pencilagain reference to the story of the old king Conn in People of the Sea by David Thompson in Canongate Classics

69saunter A4 watercolourStanage End located wonderful stiff 2 crux HVS/E1 which on 2nd vist to paint in fact was not the same route for sure. Well who can be sure but I set off to paint like I set off to climb, to the finish

74letsdance A4 Acrylicvalentine and such alternatives as there are to life in the moment here with glasses lifting themselves of the table just for starters as you try to see the look in your love's eyes
75saeko A4 Acrylicthe smoother Acrylic paper than than plastic canvas but belief took a while and this set looks like watercolour now so I must have been looking at very absorbent paper. Kneehow doitashimashite

80climbsounds 42cm x 30cm Acrylic circa 2018Fine acrylic paper, smooth grained is much better but the process of getting rock is still variably slow for me. Stanage here

85froggattdreaming2 A4 watercolourlighter wider higher and less tight detail but so much detail otherwise in the the version 1. This walk goes on and on and did happen again and again to initiate the process
86movingdepth A4 watercolourfroggatt approach again with shadows now
87waves5 31cm by 23cm watercolourpatterns in the water repeat for each eye they are different but become the same. Art theory for landscape developping here begun with waves and villeneuve limestone

92waveridge A4 coloured pencil circa 1985waves, mountains, mountains, waves. There is no ending to make up your mind if one could be representing an image of the other such is the force of momentum in even the most enduring features in nature. Find a pattern and it is a recollection
93xwing 25cm by 21cm Acryliccolour for want of storyline or nerve
94morrehall 25cm by 20cm circa 2017another MoreHall, as interesting the dog in the medical chariot I saw and again hard to recall that first vision that drew me back here to catch it
95gwells 25cm by 20cm waterolour eponymous cardactually a photo view conveniently captured from the kitchen window by my mind, not a camera.
96candyridge A4 Acrylicthe walking deserves the title and needs an effort, the umpteenth here to try and get this landscape half the justice of my memory and ability to do so. So far strictly only Villneuve really has done that to my feelings but divergence counts highly as a link to making another different picture so I am going to have to refer to this for the brightness is felt and feels suitable as a theme
97broomrocks 32cm by 24cm pencil landscape 1998getting my fingers used to working outdoors. Is it cold, no, just impatience really. Loch Broom banks of early on the north shore
