whether painting or photography.

Sometimes a coalescent of them both.

The below images are a development of ideas from above photo.

Canvas Primed and laying down some oil paint to see what creativity is sparked.
Zoomed in close up, I love the paint flow. This gave inspiration for how the piece could evolve.
Its interesting to see how inverting colours change the impact and feeling on the viewer.
Intensifying the shadow and contrast gives a greater 3 dimensional aesthetic.
The Painting utilises water effects in the oil paint, whilst using the viivd colours from the photo.

Some examples of where I review how a canvas can relate to its surroundings and/or design.

Primed canvases on the wall awaiting paint, this image shows the elevation variances of the design.
Freestanding canvases sitting on the floor, some primed, some just canvas, some just the frames.
Canvas Primed on the left & right to complement the designed elevation variations of the canvas.
This shows the side of a canvas which has a cut out in the frame underneath to give further character to the design.
Alternative angle on this set of canvases where the elevation of the canvas is adjusted as per the design.
Finished canvases showing side view once painted, paintings sold as a set at college. A glimpse of another freestanding canvas on the floor.
The above shows a glimpse at a small canvas surrounded by frames waiting for the canvas to be added, love the provoking thoughts this work creates.
I continue questioning what a painting is, using primed and un-primed canvases, along side blank frames.
Continuing the same theme as previous image but a different layout, more uniform in design to raise other thoughts on the topic.
