Stone in The Cave This work is one of a group that started out with a very muted palette and were based on the shape that I loved on a stone I found back in May this year. The stone led to much experimentation with dyed fabrics, wax and 3D pebble shapes that ended up as part of an installation in the Hermon Chapel in Oswestry. A number of paintings were also started in May and are being finished now. Because my art practice has moved on and I have recently been excited by the cave paintings in the Chauvet cave in France dating back over 30,000 years. This inspiration has taken me back to a limited number of colours, and I found that for this painting the red and the yellow ochre were just what it needed in addition to the muted palette. If you are someone interested in our cave painting past, love caves and rock or mountain climbing and the influence of the natural world, or have a loved one who is, then maybe this painting is for you or them for a present. I have intended it to be a very simple direct statement coming straight from a natural shape. Please note that the square near the middle is not a light blue, but more of a grey, it being formed from tissue paper over black painted and waxed cloth. The painting is not framed, but would look good as it is, or with a light wooden surround or in a floating frame.
