Prior to submissions these are the Paintings that are under consideration.

The first section will be subtitled ‘Decay in the landscape’ and consists of four paintings:

The second section will be called ‘Close up to deterioration’ which also consists of four paintings.

For comparison I have included below a further twelve paintings that were at some point under consideration.

I discussed the options above with Clare Wilson, tutor, on a Google hangout session on 11th January 2021. We had previously had a similar discussion as part of the Formative feedback session for Part 6. Following this previous discussion I had reworked two of the paintings, ‘Behind the façade’ and ‘Old plough’ in an attempt to bring them up to Assessment level. Whilst discussing these I noted that the version that I had uploaded were the pre rework versions. These have been updated subsequent to the discussion and the reworked versions are now shown above.

The result of the discussion was that the painting ‘Old plough’ will be submitted for Assessment but the painting ‘Behind the façade’ will be excluded. An alternative ‘View from Sutton Gault bridge’, painting no 6 in the ‘Also rans’, was considered but I feel that it is not as competent and complete as the three other paintings in the ‘Decay in the landscape’ section. Therefore I will be submitting seven paintings as part of my Assessment portfolio.
