Gordon Fraser's Page

Hi
Just bouncing around on the site, and being a believer in 'happy accidents' I found your page, your work is most appealing, very expressive with an apparent dialogue with colour, movement and brush strokes,especially the water colour on paper. I also thank you for the blog post on Sun K Kwak, I have recently been considering masking tape, both the residual from masking out, and the colour marks left on the decorators paper tape, once removed, it exposes interesting marks left on the tape which can be later incorporated in other work. I have just started using thin plastic tape as a drawing tool, to see the U tube post, it has opened my mine to the greater possibilities for which I thank you.

Nice work

Hi Gordon, I like those watercolor sketches of JC. and the budda series. Im glad you are in the area. Im looking forward to seeing your paintings in person. cheers, Diana J

Hello Gordon

Thanks for getting in touch - I especially like your series of small VV Park watercolours: lively, yet open, almost sparse - just enough, eh? It's the old "knowing when to stop" down to a tee.

I've started experimenting with watercolours (again) myself - I'm hoping I'm going to get somewhere this time. Not an easy medium to get to work for you, is it?

Have you seen my old friend Kane Cunningham's watercolours - he's doing some very lively stuff on old Northern English and Scottish estates, and has a great painting of the beach at Scarborough. They may be landscapes, but they're almost abstract: -

thanks Gordon. appreciate it. just got back from the hospital. yeah, the way I see it we all have the right to disagree, but disagree in the most intelligent way possible. I think your work is successful because it doesn't make me apathetic about it. I have a reaction to it. thanks for getting involved in the discussion. wish I could find more of this type of dialogue on here. do you suggest any more groups? thanks again.

Thank you Gordon!

Thanks for your warm welcome.

Hehe, I came here by checking your mail at Vivianite. Great tip!

And I also just discovered your blind swimmer-project. I wish I had more time to check it al, but it looks great!

greetings
