An art exhibition by Daniel Worth at Paul McPherson gallery 1st-12th of November 2011
Paintings and sculpture by Australian artist Daniel Worth inspired by his time spent exploring along the river Thames. This exhibition focuses on the mercurial nature of the river: how it changes its colour and presence with the seasons, weather, location, day, night, high and low tide. Various artworks have been created from searching on the river banks for discarded materials to recycle into surfaces to paint on and objects to use for sculpture.
Opening night reception Thursday the 3rd Nov 6 - 9pm
77 Lassell Street, Greenwich, London, SE10 9PJ

The top image is of the Full Moon over Alcudia painting I did in June. Above is the same painting but with subtle improvements like a glow around the moon, warmer coloured lights, softer toned terracotta roofs and lights twinkling along the horizon line.

This journal entry is of a Easter Island statue at the British museum in London. I like how the statue is highly rendered and has a strong presence and the people looking at it are like ghosts.
This is a picture of me standing next to a Brett Whiteley Lithograph of a figurative brush drawing called towards sculpture. I was happy to come across it in a exhibition of Australian drawings and prints during a visit to the British Museum.
Above are photos from the opening of my art exhibition called Little Places at the Worcester Arts Workshop in Worcester. I hung 23 small paintings in their Cafe Bliss Gallery of different places that caught my eye during my travels in England, Scotland, France and Spain. It was a really fun day they had 5 bands playing, good food, drink and people.
Above is a canvas I have made 61 x 182cm. It was so long that it nearly didn't fit on my floor between my desk and cupboard door. But I managed to stretch it in my small bedroom/studio space and now I am about to start painting a full moon over Paris panorama on it.
Above are 23 small paintings that I have created to be exhibited in Worcester at the start of July. this solo exhibition is called Little Places and the artworks have been inspired by the different buildings I have discovered during my travels.
This owl sculpture was created from a block of sandstone my friend bought for me to sculpt over 2 years ago. Originally I didn't use it because it was too soft and crumbly in some places and very hard in others. Making it possible to sculpt using a paint brush while in other areas you had to use a hammer and chisel. It was fun to be able to carve the stone by mainly using an axe and a garden pick! I'm glad I persisted with this stone because I think the owl looks great sitting on top of a bolder in Monique's property in Mallorca.
