Paintings
January 31, 2006
Ok, getting down to it, I am working on a series of 4 paintings based on the Bhagavada gita, right now I am working on one entitled 'Arjuna: facing the waves of battle'. It's ok, for some reason all my colour has turned pink, which at first was annoying, but now it really is starting to form a kind of 'mist' of torment (that I didn't originally envisage' The idea and description for this painting would be, Arjuna's first real sense of the horror of Battle, as he begins to panic and pray at the imminent loss of humanity and his inability to decide on his reasons and motivations to fight. He finally gains a sense of realization and spiritual awakening in the process.
Flicking the bean
January 17, 2006
It has been brought to my attention recently, a secretive game, known only as the 'bean game', which was developed and played in secret rooms, coveted only by those from the upstate New York and the lesser known hill of Copdafeel in Canada. This, said game, is a tad on the addictive side. Firstly I should point out this is a card game, not a video game, not board game, not a game involving magic, bean-stalks or even ogres, but a simple game involving colorful (sorry UK people I have finally succumbed to, cough, to the natives Language) bean orientated cards. As a result I have grown a slight unnatural interest to all things 'bean' related, (the game and AA's extra garlic Chili). O' how I now want just one more wax bean card to gain three gold pieces, but I only have 2 stink beans and 1 red bean, O, how the bartering goes on, too and fro with the great skill and with ease of wit, sowing your seeds, in spite and malice. Right up my alley!
anyhoo, I thought I should add a little 'taste' of the house right now, as I have pulled a muscle in my back and am unable to do anything for long periods of time without groaning, moaning and, o, wait..... um that's every day, but now at least I have an excuse, excruciating PAIn. PS: also to Rich, thanks for Dinner, my back gave out and I had to go to bed. Crap (!!)
PS: Livia is in heat and her singing and wanton wails are driving us all up the wall, she will be soon appearing in a slightly off broadway one woman play, a Harry Potter rip off (that's one name drop for those google stat's, snigger) entitled 'Livia Augustus and the Gibblets of fire'

Art Resume
Moray Watson attended Edinburgh College of Art in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he focused on design, painting, illustration and photography. He has successfully had gallery exhibits within the UK. Moray’s art merges both classical and modern by merging his unique interpretation with original techniques (predominantly self taught), incorporating experimentation and personal expressiveness. His acrylic paintings are a combination of textured effects, color systems, washes, frescos and relief lines which are displayed in a passionate, emotion-fueled and yet delicate way, full of movement inspired by the subject matter. His works are both atmospheric and expressive, exploring the effects of light and colour. Moray’s main inspirations come from his love of seascapes and sailing, which influence the structure and the emotional effect of his work.
Although his main focus has not always been Fine Art, he has enjoyed a variety of colorful working environments from owning his own framing business and gallery to becoming a certified Yoga instructor. This in turn has helped him avoid the conventions of fine art education. After moving to the United States he has further developed his painting style and taken his creative adventure in a new direction incorporating inks and glue, taking his existing style further. While trying to encompass the viewer in his recent works he attempts to maintain an individual almost spiritual experience throughout.
Moray was formally Resident Artist at Projections (Scotland Ltd.), in Edinburgh, a member of Pro Arts in Jersey City where his working studio resides. He has worked on numerous commissions in New York and the United Kingdom.
Exhibition highlights:
Online, Fine art America, (2005-Onwards)
Jersey City, Pro Arts, “Members show” (October 2007-2009)
New York, Chelsea 32, “Summer Breeze exhibit”, (July-August 2009)
