Title: So Is The Sun - World Column
Size: 44cm x 36cm approx
Materials: High pigment watercolour ink, mixed media on St Cuthberts Mill Bockingford Rough watercolour paper.
Description: Painting deliberately made to look like an expired Polaroid photo, with the same dimensions, this is 2.5 times the size. A series of trial and error experiements to get the bleached expired vintage look,and deliberately aged with creases and rusty like markings, 'hand' written note to mimic something from a scrap book, old photo album or box under the bed of precious memories.
A much larger 'Polaroid' (see pic below), So is The Sun is a wonderfully sunny painting of a VW Beetle and a Lambretta Riverside, one of my favourites to date, my uncle used to come to my Grandmas caravan in a yellow Beetle when I was a nipper....I'd like to extend this oversized seaside mini series, within a series, with a Mini car and a VW Camper...we shall see! Part of my vintage Polaroid series of Remembered Imaginings (Musings Blog about them here).
The above painting alongside one of the smaller original 'Polaroid' paintings, and one of my original sized 'Polaroid' print.
