A set of studies in techniques and manners based on a small corner of an existing painting.
This is still very much in progress. Variations organised in up to 9 layers. For each painting from 5 to the full set of 9 is used but in varying orders. Some are acrylic and some are oil. At the outset I wanted to integrate paintings I did outside with those inside, so 'Edge of Forest' was always intended as part of the sequence, whilst not being sure how. These seemingly straightforward landscapes incorporated structural ideas from the existing Ossia, then subsequent Ossia incorporated aspects of the landscapes. The hope is everything into a complex echoing structure. We shall see.

These 4 landscape paintings were all painted on a path that goes along the edge of a forest, all produced not far from each other. Whilst I gave myself considerable licence to get the atmosphere and structure I wanted, you would still probably recognise the exact spot. Next summer I should get another group done.
