ART: Gaddiments, Day III (Gadd’s 80th birthday!?)

So far…

I’m enjoying this stuff. Clearly it’s some form of colour exploration. Shapes/forms? Less interesting. Needs something more… for sure.

Today…
A bit more tweakage…

So where next, I wonder?

Defining the chevrons…

Well, turns out, where next was Morrisons/B&Q car park! Kind of waiting for another shift. But also working on these little art works.

Mention of artwork reminds me that I went to The Works, Wisbech, and purchased some more of these handy acrylic pens. Or as they call them ‘paint markers’.

Ghostly reflections…

I quite like the fact that there are ghostly chevrons underneath several layers of material. And at these shine forth, ever so slightly.

Suppose that’s very much in keeping with the palimpsestic nature of my artistic process?

LATER…

Gadd’s hands…
Gadd @ 80, #1.
Gadd @ 80, #2.

I’m going to try using Gadd’s hands, and mixing them in, with the colour grids of the Gaddiments. See where that goes…

LATER STILL…

Various Gadd @ 80.

Soooo… work continues on these Gadd related pieces. And how strange that I should start doing my Gaddiments and then find it’s his 80th birthday, within just one or two days of starting!?

I particularly love this one.

I like the above, particularly. I think because it’s the least worked. The most immediate. I feel that my whole massive over-layering/over-working schtick is a bit too effort-full.

And what I ultimately want is, like Gadd’s drumming, or Picasso’s sketching/painting, is effortless mastery!
