i took some of these little paintings for a little walk to the end of the garden…

the shaded spot where the rust continues to grow and bloom in hues of red, orange, sepia, violet and grey…

where a light dusting of algae turns the old wood from a dull brown to a vibrant shade of green…

where it is quite rustic, earthy, and unrefined in character…
…
i don’t have a good tripod for my camera, so i had to stay quite still to take these photographs, keep a steady hand, propped up against the nearby branches of a large shrub. i got quite cold after a short while and so myself & all the little paintings promptly came back inside again… but i did take a few photographs of these little canvases, the travel i-cons…
