Spicy Infusion.

Abstract landscape with acrylic/mixed medium.

11x14 inches.

£75

This painting will capture your senses in more ways than one. I added spices to my paints before applying. For the yellows, I used turmeric, which also gave the trunks a nice texture. The greens have cumin which gives a vibrant texture and feel. The blue was laced with peppermint, to give a pastel-like affect. The red has thyme, chunky pieces that smell divine. The house smelled wonderful but I don't know the long-term effects, whether the smells fade or go mouldy!. It will capture your imagination and your mind will never forget..

Abstract.

£155

My first attempt at an abstract has gone pretty well. I applied water in tubes with the paint so it would flow down the canvas a bit easier. The colour's I used are all complimentary to each other because I was aiming for sharp contrasts and a 3-D image. Varying the strengths or weaknesses to get the desired run-off, I feel I conquered my goal of striving for the perfect painting.

As the textile age unravelled because of cheaper imports, so great Victorian mills like this were demolished. But that was not before time or because they were ugly. far from it. The picture shows an engine shed, built in the late fifties, to accommodate the machinery inside, whilst adding speed to the production line. The orange facier bricks, in stark contrast to the old Victorian monolith, add a more modern dimension. It was all to little to late. As unemployment rose sharply, workers were laid off, the mills fell silent. I entered a few times as a teen, looking round, alone in this giant, eerie shell. All the machines, cotton bales and artefacts just lay there as if everyone was on lunch break. Newspapers, half empty cups of tea sit in canteens. I never had a camera then, I'm gutted!. But I hope my picture stirs a bit of a loss inside you, as you look back on a world that has changed so dramatically...By R.A.Hall.
