Hi Bloggers my number 3 painting is coming along slowly, but as l get layers down it gets faster.
This one is from a great memory of my Childhood when l lived in East Brighton, l would have been 9 years old, 1963. We had footpaths and our street had a hill so l asked Dad to build us one. My brother and l would Billy Cart down that hill all weekend but l was the one that had much more interest in it as he was only 6 years old.
Like any thing l do l enjoy doing research on a subject, l am about to paint.
In Australia the first noted Billy cart was in 1880. The word Billy cart comes from The English word Billy Goat Cart. and as the name suggests Billy Goats pulled the cart.
When l am working towards an Exhibition l start by doing small painting, like l am doing right now. Its a form of thinking out loud and visualizing but its not necessarily going to be the end product.
As you work you come up with ideas and those ideas may develop into something else along the way. I have started with one subject and it wasn't working, and out of the blue that whole exhibition was something else.
That what us artists do.
So here are some photos l found of my much loved Billy Cart
