Artwork of the Day

Credit: Richard Paling

I painted this as a gift for a friend. She asked me to paint a Klimt! I couldn't do that so I painted what I call my homage to Klimt. It was great to explore a more abstract 'all down the centre composition ' a golden canopy above the line-prop trees and a bed of flowers at the base. Right in the centre a golden sun! I used glitter in the paint because I couldn't afford gold leaf.

Leopard

I undertook the work at the end of 2025. It builds on an idea that I first had on a rainy day on holiday in Derbyshire. On a couple of pages of a sketch book I made some random brush strokes using black acrylic paint. Once dry, I then used white pastel pencils to draw a couple of portraits. I'd wanted to use white on black for a while, so after these first attempts I then completed three or four larger portraits. Happy with the results I then decided to undertake the head of a Leopard. Overall I was pleased with the technique, in the case of the Leopard it almost gives the sense that its looking out from the undergrowth.

Foot Loose

I retired four years ago with no knowledge of art but wanted to learn how to watercolour paint. I joined the U3A Group Syston, which is where my art journey began. Artist David Clarke is our teacher and he has over the years encouraged us to use different mediums and to explore different styles and techniques. 'Foot Loose' was created during a class where I was playing around with chalk and pastels.
