Well, it is.....! Not the conventional way of selling things I guess, but I always find truth and honesty to be far more beautiful than a candy coated lie.
In a way this is a tribute to New Plymouth and our famous Wind Wand sculpture by reknowned international kinetic artist Len Lye.
It's also a homage to blu-tack. I have recently been considering using blu-tack to "paint" with, however a cursory Google search reveals that like everything else I think of, it has already been done.

The last of the Match of the Day series. This may be the best one of the lot. I was pleased with how it turned out anyway. The first two "sunday" matches I tryed didn't work. I burned the match right down to a frizzle, but it didn't feel right (and it burnt my fingers). I needed a good straight vertical at the right hand side of the composition and the live match seemed to fit the job perfectly. It constantly surprises me that the formal demands of a painting can seem to reflect a certain universal truth about Life.
