Jan Poynter - ARTIST's photostream  

I have been obsessing on some of the small studies that I started about a year ago. Stemming from my fascination with organic “design” and the natural forces that create patterns of growth, erosion, branching and cracking, etc.

I think I have found the paint treatment that works. These are mixed media pieces with acrylic paint on heavily textured paper, canvas and recycled panels.

from the new walkway along the north side of the Gibsons Landing wharf. A very low tide had this poor abandoned hull high and dry.

From a great location, just behind Sa Boothroyd's studio on the Gibsons Dock. A quiet deck overlooking the main docks. I liked the contrast of the structured boats and the jumble of stone in the breakwater. Great old boats.

I invite you all to participate in a paint out in historic Gibsons Landing on the Sunshine Coast

September 9 / 10 / 11
meet at the VIC 11 am/2pm/4pm

Meet at the Visitors info center
(directly accross from Molly's Reach) and enjoy the local scene. Sketch or paint this colorful working wharf with fishing boats and dramatic island and mountain views. Great access to the whole waterfront along the public paths and docks, and plenty of great spots to set up.
