Jottings and Daubs
by David Chadwick
I’m putting all my stuff on line. mainly oil paintings, the medium I like to work in, but also some older cartoons and some written work. I’ve spent the last twenty years as a freelance journalist and editor, writing about architectural software, and the latest technology and processes used in the construction industry. Now I intend to explore further, trying new techniques and experimenting a bit. I started painting 50 years ago, but life sort of intervened a bit - and here’s your first lesson - don’t waste your time but find some way to keep painting. I have to learn all over again - not that I had great technique in the past - but I’m a dab hand with polystyrene and chicken wire.
This and That
The gallery contains a number of themes. You can probably tell that my inspiration comes from the impressionist periods - and with no particular artist singled out. You might say I am an artist out of my time. Over time I hope that I can get closer to understanding why their paintings, some conducted with no great skill, make such an impression on people.
Charles Fenemore, seeing the descent
of his contemporaries into various states
dementia and the effect it has on friends
and relatives, decides he wants to meet
his fate on his own terms. He buys a boat
with the intention of sailing into the sunset
until he is overtaken by whatever ending
life throws at him. His son, his sole
confidente, and an inquisitive journalist,
both get taken up by his adventure, which,
following an encounter with a young
female and her former partner, takes
a dangerous but interesting turn.
Kicking the Bucket
Paintings
Cartoons
Street Art
Music
My blog
Posting regularly about everything and anything, but mainly about
what’s on this website. May even include a blog or two about mushroom
foraging and learning to play the piano (it has a high combo of visual,
cerebral and digital stimuli - the things that keep brains ticking over and
helping to delay the onset of dementia). Your comments welcome.
And………
The Blog takes you to another website, so
keep a tab open to this page.
