new work

Two unresolved skylines: straight down Bernard Street from the old Customs House at Commercial Street, and a vista taking in the Castle from Calton Hill. It all hinges on the aerial perspective of the skies. The static masses of the buildings don't register convincingly enough until there's a convincing depth above them. For this reason I'm experimenting at the moment with monochrome pieces in which there's an emphasis on tonal values alone. Hope to show those in later posts.
