I find the painting uninteresting, it reminds me of the circus which I hvae never enjoyed. If I think about it too long I feel uneasy as with the circus comes the clowns which are really scary!
I would call this painting “walking the line”
giving it a name does not change the way I feel about
From your perspective, ‘WALKING THE LINE’ is a very good title for this painting.
I’m pleased you are able to articulate these feelings and make the connectionwhich for you is associated with the circus and clowns as scary.
I recently finished a survey using the same questions, different paintings and using a ‘private space’ to spend time with a painting.
This was in my studio and 370 people participated.
I’m coming away from this experience realizing that viewing paintings is not a passive activity but an active one.
Warm regards
Marie

Unlike the potraits of the Tightrope Walker, which are intense and bring out the vunerability of the walker’s position high above the tightrope, this potrait of the young acrobat to me shows the innocence and confidence of youth, perhaps ready to disregard the pole that is used to secure balance.
I enjoy this painting very much as I did when I saw some of your works at Newcsatle Sage at the week end.
Dear Stuart and Pat
I enjoyed being part of the exhibition at the gatesheadnewcastle art fair. The Sage is such a wonderful building!
Thank you for your comments on ‘THE YOUNG ACROBAT’. The dimension of this painting is 105cms(H) X 88cms(W) framed, making it a much larger painting than the ‘TIGHTROPE WALKER NO. 2′.
It is for sale.
Let me know if you remain interested and I can forward more details.
Warm regards,
Marie

Thank you for your reply.
Yes we are interested so please forward more details plus the sale price
Dear Stuart and Pat
The painting is done in acrylic paint on paper.
The subject matter is about the tension held during the creative process. The ‘YOUNG ACROBAT’ appears more confident in doing this. The ‘THIGHTROPE WALKER’ is managing it, but just so since there are moments when the tension causes some wobbling.
The sale price of the ‘YOUNG ACROBAT’ is £7500.00. The price includes VAT and transport if that is required. It will be covered by insurance while in transit.
The painting comes with a set of document which includes a brief CV, a photo of the painting (for insurance purposes) and a receipt. I usually add information from other exhibitions held.
I would call this painting “Poised” as that is how the young girl seems to me. Both poised in terms of grace and balance, but also poised to leap, jump, do the splits, something unexpected and skilful and this is the moment just before she does that.
Lovely painting, enjoying day two of how to buy a painting course!
Thank you Bronwyn. Please leave me feedback on the e-course. I would like to improve on it, add to it.
I will keep your impression of the painting in mind. It is an aspect I had not considered because of the intensity of concentration required to stay on the ‘line’.
Viewers impression add depth to the understanding of this painting.

I am an artist, born in Canada and presently living and painting in the U.K. In my painting I work with what I call the ‘interior landscape’; I use images and ideas from my dreams to help me represent visually the mountain ranges and coastal plains inside a person. My studio is an old chapel situated in Abbotsbury, a 600-year-old village in South West Dorset. This is where I work and exhibit my paintings... It is also the place where I hold my Art Therapy workshops. The studio is open to the public all year round.
