No Pain No Gain

First of the month again and I have just returned from a visit to the orthopedic clinic in Weston Super Mare, yes it is still painful and I am in a lot of discomfort but it is showing signs of healing, although it is difficult to see on the latest xray.

But like they say, no pain no gain, at least each day has to be better than the day before, and one small step to recovery.



My left arm and hand is still very swollen, but this too is supposed to be normal, but it is very painful.

From over 540 entries the selection committee chose to hang 320 paintings. "It's very encouraging to see that fine art illustration is accepted and recognised as art in an exhibition like this" said Stan Drew a collector of fine art, "this lovely watercolour painting by Peter Bowen is an example of what talented artist's in the Bristol area are capable of producing and it's good see that the Clifton Arts Club continues to support the artists in this community". Skratchen Dent Furniture by Peter Bowen wins Selector's Choice award 2008 A careful drawing was first produced that worked out all of the detail components and then this was inked in with a fine tip pen, taking care to draw in items which are behind other items first and then when the whole drawing is inked it is left to dry for several days.

New Paintings for Clifton Arts Club

Image
The 101st Annual Open Exhibition of Art at the Clifton Arts Club opens on Saturday 18 July and closes 1 Ugust 2009. While travelling into Bristol on the Park and Ride bus from Long Ashton, I saw this view up towards Clifton Wood and that was the inspiration for this painting. I had a clear vision in my mind of what the painting should look like and I wanted to capture only the buildings themselves and not be concerned about the trees above and below the many different coloured houses. I must admit I struggled to get the composition just right while capturing the essence of the structures and balance the many colours together so that there remained a freshness to the scene. This painting Clifton Wood Bristol is the first I have painted that is twice as large as I would normally paint, I wanted to capture the size and detail that the buildings deserved and did not forget the washing lines!
