ART IS A PROCESS NOT A PRODUCT

When art is a process rather than a product, the value of the activity was in the making of the art rather than in the final product. The value is in the free exploration, creative process, and the hands-on experience

Below are videos of my process of making my art.

My Process

This is how I create my art - warts and all

Misty Mountains and Tang Dynasty Temple Acrylic Painting

In these works I am attempting to honour, not replicate, the traditions of Chinese paintings and the views of the blue misty mountains I love.

Painting Chinese Blue Misty Mountains - That's meant to be stress free right?

I thought this was going to be easy as it was just a replica of one I had done before. How wrong I was. It was a stressful/Psychological mine field and I thought painting was meant to be relaxing!

Because of Australias tough import regulations concerning the import of wood I had to pack all 11 paintings in a tube

A short photo thread featuring a local community and the mountains of Wenzhou

This local community of facing destruction. It's just up the road from where I live. Last night's (31 October 2023) sunset was stunning. Now you can see what I love painting mountains
