David Bowie and Nativity windowsHere are the most recent in the occasional window painting series.<br />
First, another 'In Memoriam', this time for David Bowie. I scraped off the Nativity scene on Monday morning and painted, in a state of disbelief, with the excellent BBC Radio 6 Music coverage of Bowie's death and listeners' responses on in the background, his portrait from the 1977 'Low' LP cover in its place. His Space Oddity / Changes / Velvet Goldmine EP was one of my first records and he's been a constant musical presence for the last 40 + years.<br />
This painting was for my wife Julie - a lifelong and very upset Bowie fan - as well as for me, and of course for anyone passing by who noticed .<br />
As before, it's painted in acrylics on the inside of the glass of our bay window. Call by and take a look.<br />

On the same window over Christmas I did just a detail of the magnificent Adoration of the Shepherds by the Genoese painter Bernardo Strozzi (1581 - 1644). I drew on the whole scene in chinagraph but having painted just the middle section - the Madonna and Child - I decided to leave it at that. I like the look of artwork where the main part is well-finished but with rough, torn or in some way unfinished edges. Because of those strange sketch books I had as a child, perhaps ; a sort of tracing paper that you scribbled over and the picture was revealed, or those where you painted water on and a pale coloured picture appeared ? Or was it those Gerald Incandela photographs where he painted developer on the photographic paper that I tried to emulate in the darkroom as a teenager ?</div>

Anyhow, the original painting in it's entirety is in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore if you're in the area . . .</div>

The window one is another temporary painting in acrylics on the inside of the glass, while the cards are Unipin pens (0.3, 0.5 and 0.8mm) coloured in with watercolour. <br />
I'd always liked lettered scrolls twisted around things, which led - over the last few weeks - to the anniversary card (the kitchen knife and D'Arcy Spice apple), then to the birthday card (the bunch of roses), and the Christmas card ( the bunch of winter foliage from Rachel's garden) and the window version.<br />
The lettering on the window's a quote from 'Christmas 1979' by Billy Childish and the MBEs. Check it out here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTjPEreVrms">www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTjPEreVrms</a> <br />
<br />
I've put an additional picture of the window, slightly altered on New Year's Eve. Amazing what one can do on Photoshop, isn't it ? Or even with a Stanley blade and some more paint.<br />

He for me, despite a succession of highly regarded comic roles, will always be remembered as Rick from The Young Ones, and of course for this quality performance too: <a href="http://youtu.be/gGOU0o9K89g">http://youtu.be/gGOU0o9K89g</a> Marvellous !<br />
Like its predecessors this is painted in acrylics on the inside of the window. Rather blocky and rough but definitely Rik !<br />

Within a few weeks of each other I've recently had the pleasure of seeing, hearing and indeed drawing first, Dillinger and Yellowman (both backed by the excellent Sagittarius Band, who didn't even pause for a moment or a drink between the two headliners), and second, Lee Scratch Perry and The Upsetters, who were supported by a cracking local band, Hobo Chang - <a href="http://www.hobochang.co.uk/">www.hobochang.co.uk</a> .<br />
Anyway, I managed to get down to the front and, with some discreet illumination from the phone torch, get these pen drawings done. I used a 0.2mm Unipin fineliner in a Pink Pig spiral-bound A6 sketchbook and coloured them in with watercolour later.<br />

I was inspired to paint these from life last summer; after a particularly onerous commission I needed some simple beauty. <br />
Selections of flowers were picked and artfully arranged (really !) and painted in oils in the portrait booth up at the studio..<br />
They're currently on display at The Loft<br />

It's a thoroughly civilised set-up at Easton Farm Park, and with a complete freedom that has long disappeared from the bigger festivals.</span><br />
Here are a selection of the drawings; they're all done with the usual UniPin 0.2mm in an A6 spiral-bound Pink Pig sketchbook, then coloured in with watercolours later.<br />

I didn't want to see Lou off so soon, so the look is overlapping posters on a Camden wall.<br />
I first became aware of Mandela and South African politics in the early eighties, possibly as a direct result of this truly marvellous song by The Specials. Take a look at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgcTvoWjZJU">www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgcTvoWjZJU</a><br />

On the other window I've done a painting for Christmas based on the central figures from Caravaggio's marvellous and inspiring and intriguing and emotionally moving ( or is it just me ? ) Nativity with St Francis and St Lawrence of 1609. The original is lost - presumably irretrievably - having been cut out of its frame in the Oratory of S. Lorenzo in Palermo in 1969. Again, it's whacked onto the inside of the glass in acrylics and close up is quite crude but the impact from a distance seems to work well enough.</div>

This prompted me to look out and post these old drawings that I did there on a gloriously sunny yet very windy day last November.<br />
They're done with a 0.2mm Unipin waterproof ink pen and watercolours in an A6 Pink Pig sketchbook.<br />

The picture's had a lot of recognition and appreciation this week - I didn't know he had so many fans in Tollesbury.<br />
It's painted in the same way as previous windows (Advent Calendar, Caravaggio's Adoration of the Shepherds, Diamond Jubilee, Etta James), on the inside of the glass in acrylics.<br />

The almost total lack of wind led to a leisurely and sociable afternoon, and between tacks there was plenty of time to get the sketchbook out. These are all pages from my current favourite - a spiral-bound A6 Pink Pig - and are drawn with a 0.2mm Unipin then coloured in with watercolour later.<br />

I showed my drawings to the guys from the backing band packing up after the gig, and got ushered backstage to meet The Abyssinians. They liked their portraits, and were thoroughly charming and hospitable, even though Bernard said I'd made him too fat ! It was a real privilege to see them live, and to get to talk with them afterwards, and to get a three-way crit of my drawings too ! These are all done with a 0.2 mm Unipin in an A6 Pink Pig ring-bound sketchbook, then watercoloured afterwards.<br />

Gabriel had done some lovely pencil drawings of fish and birds of prey at home and made them into posters for fun, or for school projects. I got him to come to the studio and draw me some brents to cut out and stick on the painting of the beach at Walberswick in January, and some birds of his choice - bittern, kestrel and terns - for the one of the sea wall near Old Hall Farm. I painted them on in actual size in oils, the idea being that they still look like his pencil paper cut-out originals.<br />

A desolate yet inspiring location, great views up, down and across the river, and old and new industry that makes the landscape, rather than just being a blot on it..... yes I mean Bradwell ! As well as doing half a dozen pen and watercolour sketches of varying merit I also took a panoramic sequence of photographs from the top of the excellent visitors' centre, then did this painting based on some of those back at the studio. It's the view east taking in - receding from the foreground - Mucking Creek, the sea wall breached to allow mudflat regeneration, the under-construction Thames Gateway deep-water port, the old Coryton refinery, and behind all that the low hills of south Essex and the pier at Southend.<br />

The originals are a combination of line drawing and cut paper, overlaid on scans of vintage material from Julie's collection.<br />

Believed by experts to have been lost for ever after the painter's mysterious death in 1610, the canvas was found in the porch of St Mary's Church in the village last Sunday morning.<br />
But it now seems that the painting may have been in the area for a considerable time. Local 'character' Stan Mudrise (94) says he recalls the then heavily-varnished canvas, complete with frame, being use to patch up the leaking roof of his grandparents' outside lavatory, before that was destroyed by a bomb dropped from an off-course Zeppelin during the Great War.<br />
Unfortunately the painting has, in the intervening years, been rather crudely restored, with the features of Caravaggio's original subjects now bearing more than a passing resemblance to the cast of 'Carry On Doctor'.<br />
Experts from the National Gallery and the Courtauld Institute, as well as from Sothebys, are expected in the village at any time. They will be attempting to authenticate, and to try to put a value on, this immensely important work.<br />
The Humiliation of St Kenneth is temporarily on display at Saunders & Co., where it can be viewed by appointment only.<br />

She'd shifted loads as post and greetings cards and liked the idea of turning them into paintings. The first she did, Tollesbury Creeks, was painted freehand but took coat after coat of acrylic to get the depth and solidity of colour that she wanted. This led to experimentation with various tapes and scalpels until she hit on a working method she was happy with. So these are more like one-off prints - masked up and cut out and painted. Come and take a look for yourselves; they're bold, bright and crisp and are on display at Saunders & Co.<br />

The first, 'Yellow Field', is a view at low tide looking inland over the flooded field from the breached sea wall. This really is "As seen on TV !", as it's the very mud from which Ray Winstone as Magwitch ominously emerged in last year's BBC adaptation of Great Expectations<br />
The second, 'Lightship, Creek, Creek, Hard', is the view looking over the saltings from the sea wall behind the sailing club. The four separate 7" x 5"canvasses are framed together in a reclaimed plank, giving the impression - I hope - of looking out of the windows of an abandoned boat.<br />

The splendid design is just copied off an old Oxo tin from the 1953 Coronation (which we've put in the window too) that I saw at our friends' house a couple of years ago, and thought I'd like to do something with one day.<br />

Building work and damp problems over the years resulted in rerendering the wall and the mural disappeared. A new one was commissioned (this time on an interior wall) and is currently a work in progress. <br />
The first mural was painted with masonry paint tinted with tester pots, and was inspired by the look of old railway posters. The new one is based on a pen and watercolour sketch of a similar view of Blackshore, with Southwold beyond, from the Walberswick side of the River Blyth. It's blown up to about seven feet wide and is painted in acrylics, trying to keep the spontaneous look of the original. Take a look at the March 2012 blogs to see another mural painted using the same method. <br />
The pictures below show the old outside mural soon after it was painted, then the watercolour sketch the new one is based on, and finally the new one - so far, just painted lines.<br />

Lady Daphne off Tollesbury shows the famous Thames barge sailing up Tollesbury Fleet to The Ship Ahoy, which (in an alternative reality) is still a busy pub out on the marsh and Across to Old Hall: High Water shows the view across the flooded field at a very high tide.<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
These are of couple of Julie's paper cut-outs turned back into watercolours, but still keeping the crisp edges and bright colours that using cut paper allows. They're painted on some of Charles Bran's hand-made paper, which he makes from all manner of plants and leaves - honeysuckle, bramble, seaweed and more. Take a look at his interesting website, <a href="http://papermakingfromplants.co.uk/">papermakingfromplants.co.uk </a></div>
