Celebration

Celebration


As I head off to my holiday the season of music festivals begins with Glastonbury taking place. Youth remembered. Yes we all get to that age where we tend to look back instead of forward. I have found myself doing it much and often.

I stuck this painting on my blog today because it expresses how I feel this morning as I prepare to head off. Yes there are reasons why I would rather be at home but I am sure once I get there I will begin to relax and enjoy.

This abstract I have shown before. I painted after watching some of the T in the Park music festival and event that takes place not far from where I live.

I was amazed how fast this painting sold and also surprised it was purchased not by young people but a couple.

Painted in acrylic it tries to capture the whole mood and noise of those great events.

    Wow, Ralph! It seems you have been very busy since my last visit - so much wonderful work! My favourite has to be 'Be Still', though all of your work is truly inspiring. I like your self portrait too - I have never attempted one of those. I don't even like having my photograph taken!

    I like this one, Ralph. I see it in several ways, the last of which was described by you. It definitely accomplishes what you aimed for!

    Interesting choice of colours Ralph, it seems festive but yet composed in a way. It is beautiful, I love your work!
