“And there I danced. And it seemed to me as if the sea and all the trees were dancing with me.” Isadora Duncan
Sometimes you see a quote and it is what you do!! Substiute the word dance with paint or even keep the word dance Dancing with paint sounds as if it can be done is done
The sea ant trees are the current theme and indeed form the main focus of the fast upcoming exhibition! Details of which will appeare in a future post no doubt
As the clouds of night depart and dawn breaks to reveal a new day a tree and a hill appear as in a vision. Where is the path going to around the hill? What lies beyond?
Mixed Media on Canvas
The waves turn twist move splash and splish with a roar crashing to the land.There is movement all around and things in a state of flux
Life can be like that especially so at the moment is there anything such as solid structure?
The painting above
This Painting is by Mobet and from his Haysatcks series Paintings, he did a whole series of these and they are wonderful.
The Transition connection? well The harvest is gatherd in and what has been growing in he field is now ready for the next part in the cycle.It is in Transiton maybe as food for animals for the winter,At the time of the painting there was still the connection between the seasons and farming,life though hard whent on from one season to the next
Go with the flow
Feel the energy
embrace the sea and sky
feel the wind
The here and now

A bit like life really ,the mountain road twists and turns, you double back go forward you want to get straight over to there but first you have to follow certain rules, in the case of the road it is the contour of the landscape.
Today I suppose I can put B.A (Hons) after my name so…
C.A.Bellinger B.A (Hons)
It kind of looks good and feels good.
A recognition of three years of hard work and ups and downs.
Financial Sacrifice
People who think it was a easy option have no idea it is hard work and you are thinking about it most of the time. It becomes a way of life and then three years are up and the real world beckons.
Today was the official Graduation ceremony but due to various reasons and bad planning I was unable to go but my thoughts are of personal achievement and a job well done to the best of my ability, whatever internal anguish that may have been going on as part of the artistic temperament
Last but not least remembering that I did this degree as a Mature Student so just that bit more challenging as I left secondary education with only three O:Levels..
Spending the past three years studying for a B.A (hons) Fine Art i do question what if anything I have gained from the experience.
I now can say that I am a Artist with more conviction and can define what it is that i am about, I also know what it is that I am not about.
I am a painter and you cannot get away with that, I may appreciate where some of the more conceptual ideas come from but my love is Paint.
I can see possibilities in other expressions of creativity, the use of bloging and twitter fall into this and I am not against the link between these, in this fast changing world a post on a blog or a tweet on twitter is a glimpse into other people’s world’s and it is even more true now that “No Man is A Island” with the advance of new technologies that can open up huge areas of exploration.

A interesting tutorial today and some food for thought, is a painting quickly finished within say five mins worth the same as a painting that has taken days to do, if it works for you as a painter within five mins do you say stop this it!
People who buy paintings do not need to know how long it takes but there seems to be great interest on the part of the buyer asking “How long did this one take?’ Do you act all coy and say well long enough!?
Any thoughts and observation would be welcome on this topic
