the winter palette - la tavolozza di colori invernale

30/1/2015

It is a very cold and blustery today with a nice topping of hail. I find that these winter months bring out in me a fitting colour palette. I feel drawn to the dark prussian blues, paynes grey, blacks, purples, deep sometimes comforting sometimes disturbing. I find it impossible to contemplate a yellow, lime green or pink. It's hard on the mind working in this way day after day without some ray of brightness to break the concentration. The pace is slow and it needs to be but sometimes I wonder will they ever be finished.


Oggi si tratta un giorno molto freddo e ventoso, con un piccante condimento di grandine. Trovo che questi mesi invernali, far emergere in me una tavolozza di colori ben adatto. Mi sento attratto ai colori scuri - blu di Prussia, grigio di Payne, nero, viola, a volte sono confortante a volte inquietante. Lo trovo impossibile contemplare un giallo, verde chiaro o rosa. E' difficile per la mente a lavorare così giorno dopo giorno senza un raggio di luminosità per rompere la concentrazione. Il ritmo è lento e ha bisogno di essere così, però a volte mi chiedo faranno mai essere finiti.

    Painting, printmaking, sculpting...making art in Umbria. I make works about  similarity and difference, landscape, man and his effect on the land/landscape, the seasons, perseids, animals, man - life. I am interested not in reproducing reality but am trying to create work which retains something of the essence of reality.
