Sister Ursuline

This is one of the paintings I started live during the Museum of Fleas, this one from beside the stage. I also shot video of all the performances head on from the back of the room, as well as luckily a couple of minutes of Emma soundchecking from this viewing position. 

I grabbed some stills out of it and now I'm going to work up the unfinished paintings as I get a final edit together of the video of the next few weeks, with lots of added flea paintings. I had to get a computer capable of the work, I'll also  post some clips as I go




Almost finished except for the bow and Emma's thumb. I still have the final video edit to get into, but I should be able to find a bit of time for that later in the month.

This photo is under mixed UV and regular lighting,

The same version under daylight.

A few retouches

Paint everywhere now, and kind of texture, but the colours are still a fair way from where they'll end up. And the painting is a mix of normal and fluoro colours, while the photo was taken under daylight, it looksa bit different under UV. I'll take a shot soon

Fleas of Past Present and Future - by Grace Woods, and a Flea Mask


The flea drawings Grace hung in the Imperial Hotel for the Museum of Fleas. Along with the other art they will be going into the video of the show

Waiting for the Postman



 

I was waiting by the gate at the top of the lane for a new computer(I'm working on it now).

Its a good spot to sit before the sun comes out from behind the tree so I started a painting of the entrance to the old carriageway under the terraces across the road
