end of year show - self portrait scenes from past holidays!

for the end of year show i was looking over some of my old photographs from holidays and past memories,i started to use up some A3 sized cuts of MDF wood to make paintings of places i visited. for two of these images i have secretly placed my shadow/silhouette within the paintings so it looks like i am still there from the original photographic images i have chosen.

1st idea - i believe i will do a combination of either a self portrait sized at A2 !  and then expand it with a even  larger cut of wood for the background and that will be made into a  holiday scenery.

2nd- a second idea i had was to draw up an urban scene of a Bristol building/landmark and include myself within the painting.

3rd Bristol landmark the Clifton suspension bridge i did lots of bridge photographic research during my foundation year 1 project! i could return to that!

4th idea- paint old photographs of memories

5th idea - photorealism self portrait idea with objects from holiday/sunglasses sun-cream,light etc

a collection of a3 sized cuts of mdf wood acrylic paintings that i would like to keep creating a series of for my own hobby work hang them in house /studio/other. use them for landscape research ideas i really am starting to like painting landscapes now they are much easier that painting portraits i just cant seem to fully grasp the concept of painting self portraits ATM maybe when i get a response from the portrait painting of the year 2016 show then ill really have to step up my game i just hope my sent portrait images were of good use but i highly doubt it :(

a proposal for end of year show 2016 !

I have chosen to produce a series of painting from my holidays from my past painting memories and past photographic pictures.

I have begun to produce MDF cuts of wood of A3 sizes there shall be as many as i can create within the final 5 weeks of College
also landscapes objects animals and forms will be added to my work.

photos of all my holiday experiences

wip photograph classic photo albums

photos from Easter holiday down Cornwall,Newquay,St Ives etc!  WIP...

So far i have painted an image of a spider crab which was left hollowed/ gutted and was really rotting upon a boat outside newquay seaside harbor restaurant!   the creature has so much detail and tone to it i had to recreate it with paints i think it'll look very impressive once completed.I am  painting it with acrylic paints on MDF wood i will be using cuts of MDF for the final outcomes. and them have a mini sketchbook of all the photos and places that i visited along the Cornish holiday!

another image that i am currently painting is a selfie looking very displeased with the fact that the TATE ST IVES Building will be closed for renovation and construction till spring 2017.
but that didnt really bother me too much because there were plenty of other studios and gallery's of other artists who have spent there lifetime sourcing the location around them for paintings and using natural sources of sculptural creations.

okay cancel this proposal because it is now changed into combining landmarks and selfie portraits in one painting on MDF wood A2 size
