'Beneath the Skin' at the Frame Workshop and Gallery, Ipswich

I'm thrilled to announce that Robin Peters at the Frame Workshop and Gallery in St Nicolas Street in Ipswich has kindly offered to host another exhibition of 'Beneath the Skin'. The Private View is on Thursday 28th February 6.30 - 8.30pm. We will be delighted to see you there.

This exhibition is a collaboration between artist Annabel Mednick and model Leo Collins. It is an exploration in paint of the life and capability of an intelligent, articulate young man in which his disability is acknowledged.

Michelle

Portrait project

So here are the first little studies from last week.

 Paul

 And Michelle
They are quite small ...A5. I liked the black background.

In the week I saw a beautiful music video by Tim Arnold. -Change Starring the late wonderful Lindsay Kemp.
(click the link below to see the video )
Tim Arnold - Change (Starring Lindsay Kemp)
 I loved Lindsey Kemp.  I saw flowers at the roundhouse at 14 and I have been enchanted ever since.
The Video is simple, pure.

This is the first layer of the painting I am making of Paul. (Also quite a small painting- 40 x 30 cm)I will let it go where it wants too. Perhaps it will be fluid, perhaps realistic... As we talk and I explore Paul's animated expression... it will be what it will be.

New project for the Autumn

I just have to get back to the basics of painting. With no demands to sell or please the sitter or client. I need, need, need to be experimental....

So I put out an appeal for victims....oops....sitters on Facebook. Thanks to all those who messaged me back. Watch this space as the work develops over the coming year. 

                                                     Portrait of Blue; oil on canvas.

 Of course that will be alongside more formal work...(Any commissions most welcome!) 
Also I have finally finished updating my website. Please check it out and share! http://www.annabelmednick.com/
