Ken Young Art: Still Water
http://kenyoungart.blogspot.com/2016/12/still-water.html
Thursday, 22 December 2016. I saw this painting in terms of contrasts: light tones and dark tones, bright colours and dull colours, smooth texture and rough texture. From that point of view the grey, stained and dilapidated side of the harbour was just as important as the placid water reflecting evening light. The scene, by the way, is the inner harbour at Dysart, on Scotland's East Coast. There's always a lot there to catch an artist's attention. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ken Young Art: Boats On An Old Stone Pier
http://kenyoungart.blogspot.com/2016/10/boats-on-old-stone-pier.html
Wednesday, 26 October 2016. Boats On An Old Stone Pier. At Aberdour, just a few miles from where I live, there's a small harbour mostly used by yachtsmen these days. As winter approaches some of the boats are lifted out for storage on the stone pier. My painting shows them lined up along the pier on a peaceful, cloudless evening, with a golden light in the sky. The water was quite still and reflected the colours in the sky. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Ken Young Art: Walking On Sunshine
http://kenyoungart.blogspot.com/2016/11/walking-on-sunshine.html
Saturday, 5 November 2016. The title was going to be "Urban Light". Then while I was out driving, with the car radio on, the DJ played that old hit by Katrina and the Waves, "Walking On Sunshine". That sounded like a much better title! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Simple theme. Powered by Blogger.

Ken Young Art: Red Door And Black Dress
http://kenyoungart.blogspot.com/2017/01/black-dress-and-red-dress.html
Wednesday, 11 January 2017. Red Door And Black Dress. How do you classify a painting like this? Is it about architectural detail? In my mind, it's both these things. Your opinion would be welcome. If you're interested, the doorway with its pillars and railings belongs to a grand house somewhere in Edinburgh's New Town. I changed the door colour and door number to anonymise the scene.

Ken Young Art: Cottage Windows
http://kenyoungart.blogspot.com/2016/10/cottage-windows.html
Tuesday, 11 October 2016. I saw these twin windows as I walked along a street in the pretty Northumbrian town of Corbridge. Their windowboxes crammed with violet, red and white flowers intrigued me. How much daylight were the people inside getting? Still, the windows looked superb from the outside. I have to say I enjoyed painting the stonework just as much as I did the flowers.
