Although I am currently working on the next painting in my 'Idle Hands Series' I don't feel that its ready enough to post this evening. Instead I'm taking the opportunity to add two more paintings to my #artistsupportpledge catalogue.

'Carved from the Land' was a series of landscape painting that I created for a painting last year. The idea behind the series was to produce a series of small and medium sized, impasto oils on canvas that would through the usage of paint and knife attempt to reflect some of the nature and textures of the West Coast of Scotland. It was my idea that although these works would clearly remain within the province of painting that the thickness of the paint used along with the the heavy drag, cut and carved marks of the palette knife would also infer sculpture and relief works. The two paintings which I am releasing to the catalogue tonight are great examples of the project in that they exhibit all 3 primary elements of landscape painting; sky, land and sea. Each of these elements is heavily worked with the palette knife through a variety of techniques to add texture and life to their distinctive flavours.
