#063: On the edge of imagination

Oil on a huge square canvas. 

A photo-realistic painting of a close-up of the face of a person who is staring into the middle-distance, their look on the cusp of turning from pensive to wonder.

Inspired by Issue #156 of The Red Hand Files.

#062: My oldest obsession

 A wall clock.

#061: Calming view, Summer 2021 (Gone)

Oil on canvas.*

The entire canvas is filled with a close-up of leaves on a horse chestnut tree shortly after the blossom has fallen.  Varying shades of green and pools of light spread out and are punctuated by the very beginnings of conker encasements. 

*Would work well as a GIF.  Possibly with sound - or without, your mind would probably fill it in.

Dedicated to Richard Hornshaw, who seems to have felt much the same.

#060: Man is forever a stranger and alone

Oil on canvas.  A figure stands in the centre of the (portrait) canvas, visible to just above the knees, their arms and hands at their side.  The figure is in a city street scene with people and cars bustling behind them.  

Hovering next to and surrounding their head, obscuring their face (from the bridge of their nose to just below the chin), is a pine wooden picket fence.  At the centre of their forehead a remote cabin is pictured.

#059: Self-portrait VII

An image of you, your face fixed in a way that is different from how you are feeling within.

#058: Alone with your selves

You inside a room with mirrors covering all four walls, the floor, the ceiling and the back of the door.

#057: The Negative Zone

Oil on canvas.  A person walks across an arctic landscape of nothing but ice stretching for miles, edged with tall mountains.  Dark clouds fill the sky, storms rage above the mountain range.  Behind the person walks an angry-looking polar bear who leans its head down to talk into their ear.  A cloud of breath emits from the bear’s mouth, slightly obscuring the head of the person.  The ice throughout the landscape is littered with their footprints.
