Several weeks ago I was given some little blocks of wood left over from a project at work. I thought they would be perfect for a set of tiny paintings (105 x 125mm) to hang in a group. At the time I was working on ogee patterns so it was a natural progression to abstract the curves and make these colourful designs with little paintings in mind, although I feel these particular ones would look good on larger panels of perhaps 30cm to 40cm. However, I do have some other ideas for the small blocks. I made the gouache paintings shown above in 2015 on a set of wood veneers B had given me to work on. He had had all six for years in an envelope from his days as a carpenter, and the packet was an item of great nostalgic value for both of us. It took me a few years to pluck up the courage to paint on them, but when I finally did I made these for his birthday, and presented them to him in the original old envelope. He liked them so much that he bought me a package of wood veneers to make some more work. I have only used one piece, and that was for his birthday in 2020, but I'm thinking now of using some of them mounted on the small wooden blocks in a similar way. Here are the little blocks sitting on the shed bench waiting to be used.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
