The Underfall is an area in Bristol harbour where boats are repaired and overhauled. There is a slipway. During the summer evenings, I use the Underfall as inspiration, initially, I painted and drew what I saw and then this developed into a series. The set is numbered from 1 to 8, I was inspired by the music I was listening to (Doobie Brothers mostly) and the light drive my marks which abstracted what was in front of me. The work is all on paper with oil pastel and watercolour paint. |
