The remote edges #10

I'm not taking on board Doug's suggestion that he made in the last Remote Edges post. I don't want to have a couple of photographs every month, I want to have as many to cover the countryside surrounding me at a greater, extensive depth.

These are the last photographs taken with my old camera. They date from 11th of October, and I haven't been photographing since. I have a new camera which I got for christmas, and I'll hopefully be using it soon. One of the good things about this new camera is that it can store hundreds and hundreds of photos, so I can take it with me on my 2/3 day trips. I'm hoping to go out for a walk with my camera tomorrow, but with A2 examinations imminent I'll be having less and less time... I may have to postpone/cancel this blog post now and again... When A2 examinations and football world cup are over, I may be able to devote more time to my 'remote edges'.

Favourite paintings

Here is a selection of my favourite paintings. I approach this art-form, for the most part, on a gut level and have little knowledge of its rudiments or its history. Maybe as I get older I'll begin to develop more of a knowledge of it, but for now here is my selection of favourite paintings at this moment in time.........

Woman III - Willem De Kooning

I have a page torn out of a book of this painting displayed on my bedroom wall. This is also, incidentally, the second most expensive painting of all time!


Four Girls on a Bridge - Edvard Munch

A lesser-known Munch work... I saw this in Cologne and bought a small postcard-sized print of it to put on my wall.

The Garden of Earhthly Delights - Hieronymus Bosch

I have a large print of this in my room, and I often stop and marvel at it. There is so much going on in this painting it's unbelievable.

Dusk - Claude Monet

I have a print of this in my room. It's lovely.

Yellow and Blue - Mark Rhothko

Simple but effective. I have a calender of Rhothko painting in my room, and this is one of them.

The Perpignan Railway Station - Salvador Dali

I saw this at the Ludwig museum in Cologne, and it was really impressive and... large.


The Adaptation of St. Anthony - Hieronymus Bosch

You don't get that good an insight into a Bosch painting at this size and from a distance...

Retrat IV - Joan Miro

My parents have this in the dining room, and I really like it. I have been seeing it practically every day since I was 8.
The Scream - Edvard Munch

You all know this one.
