Where the rust and water went...

Well, I've put my fear and fascination of rust and metal in water into my recent paintings.
I'm a bit of a fiddler, so these may not be quite finished...or they might be...I have to live with them for a bit, but I've really enjoyed the process of creating them, which has taken some time: because there are so many layers, I've had to be really patient letting each one dry, whilst trying to keep them looking wet...






...and this is one below I've been playing with for a while, (some of you might remember it in a slightly different way, from an earlier post 'Up Close and Underneath');
It's become a lot murkier over the last few weeks!

  2. you've really captured the rust brilliantly. looks like you welded a piece off the boat and put it on the canvass.....how do you feel about rust and underside of boats now.,having created this and living with them in your studio.. ...love larger and more detailed version of last one

  6. I do like the trips that you take us on, you make us look at things that we wouldn't ordinarily notice. I like that about your blog.
    Once again great paintings!
