BLOGAV Well hello there art fans. It is exciting times we are in at the moment. I am involved in an international arts project entitled, '4elements'. Recently we had a German artist and a German photographer staying over at our house on the Crag as our guests. We immersed ourselves in nature - almost a bit too literally as it was freezing out there. It seemed to have been a fruitful visit as we all sparked off each other and ideas flowed like the River Wear. Since then I have started to visualise some of my ideas on canvas. The results are being displayed on my site as and when they are completed. Keep posted. Gav My adult art AS and A level class at Wolsingham Comp have just completed their exams and as their results were excellent I would like to share the images on my website - so here they are....
Didn't they do well?
My pal sporting the tattoo I designed, ( tattoo c/o www.gecko-imagestattoo.co.uk/ ) showing that art can be applied in many ways. He also modelled for the first time at the last life class that I held at Stanhope Dales Centre. He was a brilliant model and kept so still it was unreal. The students did not know whether to draw him or the tattoos.
Another different application of my art (and there have been many) was the wolf face that I added to a large model airoplane. After taking a photograph of it I superimposed the plane onto a couple of landscape (or should I say airscape) photo's to give the impression that it was actually airborne - and I think they look pretty cool. A good friend of mine has started a councelling business called, “Mariposa Counselling Services”. It encompasses: one-to-one counselling, play therapy, counselling supervision and counselling training events. She is a smashing person so if you or your child or friend has a problem that needs professional help, then click on the link below.... Talking of links - here are a couple of photographers and artists that I have been involved with - all excellent in their field and probably quite good in their garden as well.
