Guitars

By  Jenny Mellings 2017

30 x 40

This represents the memory of a day when musical instruments were delivered to the camp by a group of volunteers from Dorset. As I left the area that evening, I glanced back and saw the flap of a small tent open in the dusk, glimpsing inside a group of young men joyfully tuning their new guitars. This is part of a series of small paintings that will be shown at Plymouth Art Weekender 2017 - see events page #Ontheground

Blue Boat Passing

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
