<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">
This little quartet was painted consecutively with the idea of them
being framed together as a single work. Rather than artfully arranging
the matches I wanted to try a random approach, and for each new
arrangement I picked up the same matches, all with their heads upwards
and held them about an inch above the surface, before dropping them. I
didn't cheat and re-drop them or rearrange them. I did however, allow
myself the liberty of framing them visua<span class="text_exposed_show">lly
in my compositions, so that some outlying matches were omitted as they
would not have fit my small square format. I am fascinated by the nature
of randomness, and the way that following a few simple set parameters
in a process can create patterns and a kind of order. I was also aware
of the similarities of dropping sticks or other objects - dice or cards
for example - to divine fortunes, As in the I Ching</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I see that is almost one whole year since I posted anything here. I have been giving the smaller format paintings a bit of a rest, while I concentrate on some larger scale work.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">However this one just popped out the other day and I realised just how much fun and exciting it is to paint on a micro scale! I actually find it liberating rather than limiting and although it is small this is painted very expressively, I feel. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It is not literally painted on a matchbox, however it is on a piece of MDF of the exact dimensions, including thickness, of a larger box of New Zealand Beehive Matches Made in Sweden. The moral, if there is one, is don't believe anything you are told at face value....</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Oil and pigment mixed to a coloured mud and applied to the surface of thin cotton stuck onto some kind of corrugated plastic stuff </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Well, I wanted to call this one "More Bottle". It's always a challenge coming up with interesting and relevant titles for still lifes (lives?) I was trying to paint this one with more gusto and vitality, and the saying "more bottle" popped into my head. It's funny how certain phrases resonate from our past and I'm sure I'm familiar with this as a saying, meaning to give something more life and vitality, or "more balls" - a turn of phrase that seems to be in more common usage in these parts. Anyway, I ran it past "She Who Knows" or "My Better Half", and she had never heard of it and suggested I "ask Uncle Google". Well, Uncle Google doesn't seem to have heard of the expression either, so I'm wondering if I just made it up myself. The closest I could get was "bottled out" or "not much bottle" from the <a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/" target="_blank">Phrasefinder</a>:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">"...that is, 'useless; no good for anything'. This usage is recorded in a glossary of 19th century street English slang <i>The Swell's Night Guide</i>, 1846:
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote>
<div class="meanings-body">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">"She thought it would be no bottle, cos her rival could go in a buster." "</span></span></div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Well it may be archaic, but if you can have not much bottle surely you can have more bottle?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Anyhoo... It gives me something to write about and I have bottled out and called it prosaically "Still life With More Bottles".</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I haven't ever been witness to this small amount of snow on our mountain for this time of year. It's been very warm and mild. This view is from the beach at Komene Rd where I walk every day, rain or shine. The farmer who runs stock there, has been clearing new ground and put in water troughs. It occurred to me as I painted this that it is a very elemental image : air - the blue sky, earth, water - the snow and the trough, and fire being the volcano, Mt Taranaki.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Regular visitors to this blog will have noticed I haven't been posting much. I have been working on larger paintings. Also, I'm finding that the small works are no longer selling like they used to. However, I enjoy painting them anyway, and will continue to do so as long as I can afford to. I got quite a shock when I went to order more paint supplies recently and found that the price has literally gone up by 100% here in NZ! In fact, for the first time it was cheaper for me to order internationally and pay the freight and import tax. This is a long round-about way of justifying why I've decided to put my prices up! I've kept the price of these paintings deliberately low over the last eight years or so , so that anyone can afford them. But I'd rather not sell them for a reasonable price than not sell them for a pittance. This is also a good thing for my collectors who have supported me, as their collections are now officially worth more!</span></span></div>
