Blue Notes
A series of six blue paintings on hand stretched canvas using ultramarine pigment and ink.
In jazz and blues, a blue note is a note that—for expressive purposes—is sung or played at a slightly different pitch from standard.
Mouthfuls of blue
Unmoored
Floating by
The timelessness of a singular moment
Memory is a master of deception
I still feel heavy
Each painting measures 25x25cm.
10oz unprimed cotton canvas is first hand stretched over wooden frames. Then I paint multiple transparent layers of ultramarine pigment, water and ink.
