THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE 23 : Icarus

SPLASH !!!

Gone from this place

Silence only

Earthly delight

Soundless in oblivion

Silent night

Mr Icarus Rising..

Glowering, stammering

Headache hammering

Tears fall shimmering

Hope comes a glimmering

Rising from ground zero

Remade Remodelled 

Undeconstructed

Our hero..

Returns

Found peeled

Appalled

Apart for apart's sake

Lost

Lonely

Destroyed

Icarus rising..

 

reach for the light

Icarus risen

 

All wrong but alright 

Born again bruised, broken and beaten

He stands and delivers..

Howls of frustration

Lust for life lost 

Fallen from favour

Lie about failure

Promise the future..

Perfection in flight

Flight of fancy

From salt water solution..

To new resolution

Waxing and waning..

Spend time in training..

Sleep while the sun shines..

Fly while it's raining

AND THEN THE SETTING SUN

yo!.. surf's up...innit!

 

 

so carrying on from yesterday..

I was swimmin inna sea of oil paint..

big brush in hand..

an what did I sea..

a sundown moment in the history of art..

thought I would share this with you..

 

OIL AND WATER

yo!.. ocean view ...innit! 

 

 

sometimes when you are painting..

there has to be a change of plan..

and what you thought you were painting..

is not going to happen any more..

because something else has occurred to you..

 

 

A LITTLE MORE PACIFIC IF YOU PLEASE 

the ocean has made it's appearance..

complete with swimmer and sail boat/windsurfer..

the carpet from the souk..

has become the sun..

you have to pause..

and look carefully..

and before you know it..

you are unemployed..

there is nothing more you can do..

the ocean has trumped the souk..

all you can do is look and learn..

HOME FROM THE SEA

virginia stuart..

loves to be beside the seaside..

her's is a marine life..

a sun bather and beach comber..

artist and sculptor..

she brings home the fruits..

of time and the weather..

sweet molly malone

she sells sea shells


CREATE AND SURVIVE


virginia has created her own medium..

her own version of papier mache..

which is derived from her ceramic work..

she prefers the paper medium to clay..

even though it's new and surprising..

for collectors..

home from the sea

top view

yes that is a ring around a shell..

and yes..

suspended stones from the shingle beach..

and silk thread..

all the works are..

original and unique..

I MUST GO DOWN TO THE SEA AGAIN

THE LONELY SEA AND THE SKY

I must go down to the sea again..

the lonely sea and the sky..

I've left my shoes and socks there..

I'm seeing if they're dry..


I have always loved the sea, coast, boats, beach..

you can see it in the paintings..


and here at the beach..

THE SHOCK OF THE WAVE

yo!.. tsunami... innit!

On March 11, 2011,

a magnitude-9 earthquake shook northeastern Japan,

unleashing a savage tsunami.

The effects of the great earthquake were felt around the world,

from Norway's fjords to Antarctica's ice sheet.

Tsunami debris has continued to wash up on North American beaches years later.
