Attentive Fragment no. 14 - Original Outdoor Mixed Media Artwork on Paper

'In the last moment, a blackbird perched on the sunlit tree.'

This is an original Attentive Fragment* - a small focused artwork created as part of my daily outdoor painting practice. 

Each fragment is made in 10-15 minutes, working directly from life to capture a moment of attention, rather than a finished scene.  Being outdoors means responding to changing light, movement, weather and sound - these marks are made in real time, in direct relationship with the place.

This piece was painted on the edge of a Burgundy village, during a sunny winter's day.

• Original artwork (one of a kind)
• Measuring 14.5cm by 20.8cm. 
• Materials:  watercolour & Conté Carré.  On Mixed Media Paper.  
• Unframed.
• Signed with initials on the front.
• Posted flat, carefully packaged.

*Attentive Fragments are intentionally small and loosely worked.  You may see unfinished edges, visible layers, traces of the process and effects from weather events.  Attentive Fragment no. 14 includes one frayed edge with square holes.

This piece would suit a quiet space - a place for pause.
