Drawing in the moonlight...

“Promises are like the full moon, if they are not respected at once they diminish day by day”

Last night I was sitting at my desk drawing as I saw an arc reflecting on the conservatory roof...after looking out the window I saw the full moon shining bright...

Directly out my bedroom window the moon was shining bright creating a silhouette with the trees in the foreground.

I also then decided to take a long exposure self portrait of myself in the moonlight.

Sometimes I guess inspiration can sometimes come to you...

Gilbert & George- An inspiration

Gilbert & George are two fantastic contemporary artists that I love ,Their work is recognisable mostly for their very formal appearance and manor as well as their bold colours which reminded me of stained glass windows.They are two wonderful artists- that have already began to influence my work via colours as well as the structure of their stuff and i couldnt believe it when I took an unplanned walk around Aberdeen Art Gallery to see them exhibiting a piece this month. Something else which added to my appreciation was their constant symmetry which subconsciously Ive noticed my work also follows, I also like their similarity to Stained Glass windows in their colours and Structure.
