Description

Pieces of bark and metal coil modelled onto board, overpainted in acrylics I can't quote the dimensions of this as I forgot to take note of them before I came back home to England last weekend, but it's a little bigger than A3 if I remember right! I must acknowledge and thank Cassie for her invaluable input, for the arrangement of the objects is hers and she also made suggestions for use of colour conducive to the scheme I had in mind. Very much an education for me. Thank you sweetie, I have a lot to thank you for *hugest hugs* :-) The title came naturally after a lot of headscratching. The term counterpoint is normally used in the context of music but can also apply elsewhere - in this case, the combination of natural and artificial objects. Thanks for stopping by to take a look and your feedback is always much appreciated, critical or otherwise :-)

Jim this is exceptional. I love the mixture of elements. You were well guided in the arrangement. Cassie has a great eye. Beautifully unique. This makes me want to touch it and run my hands over it to feel the various textures and shapes. Excellent work of art Jim!

Welcome back to Blighty, Jim! I was wondering what your first post after returning would be. At first glance I wasn't sure if it was a digital treatment. It's like you've cut out a piece of Australia and mounted it as a melancholy souvenir...

Welcome back to Europe, Jim! I've missed you so much here in Rosity, so welcome back with your art here too! You left this one to Cassie? She must be happy to have it! This has real feeling of movement and light; and the obvious touch to the Nature fascinates me - with very well thought composition and minimal colour scheme. Lovely. Brilliant. :-)

Thanks to all :-) Titta, I left all my canvases back with Cassie as I intend to go back there in the new year anyway, and I think they'd have cost a lot to post back to England ;-)
