THE TOOLS of the PAINTER...

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
I've painted for as long as I can remember.
I believe if you are a creative it is NEVER just in one field...
I photographed one of my paintings, 60x50, and inserted it; I was so surprised when it actually matched the colours on my palette!
I painted it from memory, a tour of Bretagne.
I had been most impressed with the rough rocky coasts, the often emerald waters, the ‘wildness’ of the place.
Some of the brushes I used belonged to my grandfather and father.
The painting is actually done completely with pallet-knife, my fave tool.
I painted with oils like this here, watercolours but I made hundreds of soft pastels.
I don't paint anymore now; I might again, one day, who knows?
My most creative period was when I had a lot of turmoil in my life, anger, sadness, disappointment and love.
I painted furiously day and night!
When that was gone, the photography kicked in again ad eventually took over.
I believe you have to be in a specific ‘state of mind’, plus, I must admit that over the years photography has satisfied my creative needs more and more.
PERMEKE'S PALETTE
Constant Permeke (1886 - 1952)
Biography: Born in Antwerp. Belgium.
Died Ostend.
Constant Permeke was a leading Expressionist painter in his home country during the period between World War I and World War II.
In 1914, he was severely injured and sent to England for recovery. Permeke returned to Belgium five years later, eventually building a home and studio in Jabbeke. His paintings normally depicted the aspects of life in a coastal town and portraits of fisherman.
He was a contemporary of Picasso.
After 1935, Permeke began creating sculpture as well.
Permeke's work was an extension of his personality. A giant, he worked in large studios on large canvases; even his drawings are large. His character was uncouth and quick-tempered yet gentle and generous.
He was direct and single-minded.
When he built his house in Jabbeke, just outside Bruges, it was very avant-garde.
It is now a permanent museum for his work.
On a visit, in his beautiful studio (atelier), the family have left it untouched, the huge unfinished painting on the easel; I photographed his palette with brushes, preserved in a glass tabletop display.
With all the reflections not the easiest photo to take, I included a small photo of one of his paintings, for those who are not familiar with his work.
