Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

This is a pastel drawing of the salt marshes around Wells next the sea. I became so sick of the over cultivated fields of England that I was seeking some truly unspoilt lancscape. Only on the margins of cultivated land could I find the beauty I sought. Because it is invaded by the sea every day it is also ruled by the sea and not man. The tide cuts these deep rivers into the mud. The only sign of man is the tiny wooden bridge on the horison.
It is a pastel and very fragile, consequelty I would very much like to paint it larger for you (120 x 80) in acrylic paint and inks on stretched canvas. The edges would be fully painted in harmony with the painting itself to give the painting greater depth. Consequently it can be mounted on the wall without a frame and looks great as an integral part of your decor.
If you like it but it is not your particular favourite view, please consider commissioning me to paint the unique work of art your favourite image or view. If you have a particular image in mind please email it to me. Specify, size, proportions, dominant colours, style, subject and your budget. We will discuss, negociate and agree on what is possible and right for you. You pay 50% up front an,d 50% on completion when you are satisfied with the emailed images and progress reports. Final delivery in 3 to 5 weeks.
Please contact me to establish the cost of shipping as this varies so much with the weight of the painting and the destination.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Mexico

I am an English paintier living in Mexico. At times it can seem to be a very crazy culture, but this makes it particularly exhilarating for me. Whilst in England everything happens behind closed doors, here it is much more on the street. It is a living culture with street parades, festivals, religious pilgrimages and street theatre. Queretaro is particularly rich in theatres and party places for children. Mexico is a melting pot of peoples including Spanish, Indigenous Indian Toltec and European/Americans (USA). We are at the meeting point of all the Americas. Drugs going north, guns coming south, illegal imigrants going north and United States industry moving south. Corruption, kidnapping, extortion and narco-gang-wars are rife. The costumes are colourful, the women are very womanly and sexy and the people fun-loving. There is much poverty, especially in the indiginous Indians who form the majority of the street sellers. Despite the corrupt laws, police and Caltholic church, the people can always smile with broad smiles and laugh at advercity. Every birthday is taken as an excuse for a party/fiesta. For me it is a painter's paradise. I am just surprized that it is relatively undiscovered and not more of a tourist attraction to Europeans.
