 When the Tide Went Out - 1 Acrylic on canvas  Ebb and Flow Acrylic on canvas 80cm x 80cm  Clear Island Wrack Acrylic on gesso panel 40cm x 30cm  Invasion The following series of paintings and drawings started my fascination with stripes. A dress inherited from one of my sisters in the 80s, "Satinsation" won a Taylor Bequest Award for painting. I didn't wear the dress myself but it became my 'muse' and the linear element has influenced my work to the present day, through the vernacular architecture of corrugated iron sheds to the recent tent paintings. I plan to create a catalogue of these paintings and drawings influenced by stripes.  Satinsation Oil on canvas 90cm x 70cm  Boatyard Shack Acrylic on canvas 95cm x 69cm |
