The Gothic Path

Its Sunday night and I would have to admit to being a bit tired but a couple of things have been running through the sump that seems to pass for my mind .

Here are a few pictures:

 

Skull      2011      oil on canvas         4' x 4'                            Frank Rafter

 

You may get some idea of scale from the size of the easel

 

Here are two more  - these are about 10in square

 

 

Skull Parts 1 & 2  2011 oil on canvas

 

It may seem a little full on to be putting these in at this time but the main reason they are there is to demonstrate my own surprise that I have been making gothic images for some time and I simply never gave them that name.

 

Here are some more rather different pictures:

 

 

These come from an extraordinary book of photographs called 'The Unseen Eye' 

The book features work from the collection of W. M.Hunt and is brand -new having come by inter-library loan from DIT; this reader is the first to sample it and the images are stunning. There was another which I thought about  showing but I have to admit that it was a bit much even for me -  get the book.

 

Too tired....

 

Starting to document the putting together of my show in the Source in Thurles in November and will put up some pictures and diarise(?) it.
