Karoo National Park
Karoo National Park - charcoal on Fabriano - 430x620mm
Inspired by a recent trip to the Karoo, one of our favourite parts of South Africa. The harsh, arid beauty and distinctive mountains capped with layers of hard rock creating red ramparts of pillars are instantly recognisable to anyone who has been there.
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
Words by Sandy Carlson which express perfectly how I experience colour in my art.....
Colors that bleed don't, actually, But might if they were living things. Rather, they go outside the lines On purpose or by accident Creating an effect you may not have hoped for When you placed them there Or when you showed up to watch: Sharp clarity, a gentle blurring, a mess? It is what it is. Colors bleed.
