The final four paintings in the East Coker section of my series of works on T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets: ‘Undisciplined squads of emotion,’ ‘Home is where one starts from,’ ‘Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter’ and ‘In my end is my beginning.’ So, the twelve paintings each for Burnt Norton and East Coker are complete. Coming up next, the twelve paintings for The Dry Salvages... #eastcoker #inmyendismybeginning #burntnorton #fourquartets #tseliot #eliot #artandpoetry #wordsandpictures #artandliterature #20thcenturyliterature #faber #faberandfaber #originalart #abstractart #abstractlandscape #artseries #smallworks #originalpainting #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #landscapepainting #somerset #modernism

Paintings 5 - 8 in the East Coker section of my paintings on T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets: ‘I said to my soul, be still,’ ‘Wait Without Thought,’ ‘So the darkness shall be the light and the stillness the dancing’ and ‘One has only learnt to get the better of words for the thing one no longer has to say.’ The final one in these four is one of my favourites from the whole series so far. #eliot #tseliot #fourquartets #eastcoker #artseries #smallworks #poetry #artandpoetry #artandliterature #wordsandpictures #artandbooks #20thcenturyliterature #faber #faberandfaber #abstractlandscape #abstractlandscapepainting #landscapepainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #contemporarylandscapepainting #somerset #britishartists #britishlandscape #skies #livingartists #fromthestudio #art #painting

Paintings 1 - 4 in the East Coker section of my pieces on T.S. Eliot’s ‘Four Quartets’: ‘East Coker,’ ‘In my beginning is my end,’ ‘Wait for the early owl’ and ‘And every moment is a new and shocking valuation of all we have been.’ Deciding which lines I’d use for this section was much harder than it was for the Burnt Norton section because, of the four poems in Four Quartets, East Coker is my favourite. Even though I made the 12 paintings I planned for this section, it feels to me like there are absences in not having made, for instance, ‘dark in the afternoon,’ ‘Our only health is the disease if we obey the dying nurse’ and ‘A lifetime burning in every moment.’ But it occurs to me that, just as in life we live alongside the things we haven’t done, as artists we live alongside the pieces we haven’t made. #eliot #tseliot #fourquartets #eastcoker #burntnorton #poetry #artandpoetry #wordsandpictures #20thcenturyliterature #modernism #faber #faberandfaber #artseries #smallworks #artandliterature #originalpainting #britishlandscape #abstractlandscape #contemporaryart #contemporarylandscapepainting #britishcontemporaryart #trees #art #britishartists #livingartists #fromthestudio

Paintings 9-12 in the ‘Burnt Norton’ section of my pieces on T.S. Eliot’s ‘Four Quartets’: ‘Desire itself is movement.’ ‘Love is itself unmoving,’ ‘Caught in the form of limitation’ and ‘Now, Here, Now, Always.’ #tseliot #eliot #fourquartets #burntnorton #poetry #artandpoetry #modernism #20thcentury #20thcenturyliterature #faber #faberandfaber #artseries #smallworks #originalart #abstractlandscape #contemporaryart #contemporarybritishpainting #love #desire #paintingpoetry #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #fromthestudio #artproject #acrylicpainting #painting #originalpainting #art

Paintings 4-7 in the Burnt Norton section of my paintings on T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets: ‘A white light still and moving,’ ‘To be conscious is not to be in time,’ ‘Time before and time after’ and ‘And all is always now.’ These are all 20x20cm acrylic on board and a couple of these ones incorporate silver leaf and bronze. #tseliot #eliot #fourquartets #burntnorton #poetry #artandpoetry #20thcenturyliterature #landscapepainting #britishlandscape #abstractart #abstractlandscape #wordsandpictures #artandliterature #modernism #artseries #smallworks #originalart #originalpainting #contemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #faber #faberandfaber #contemporarybritishpainting

Getting back to my series of paintings on T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets and looking back at the 24 paintings I’ve done so far for Burnt Norton and East Coker. So, I’m halfway there: another 12 to make for The Dry Salvages and another 12 for Little Gidding. Here’s where it all started - the first four - ‘Burnt Norton,’ ‘What might have been is an abstraction,’ ‘Towards the door we never opened’ and ‘The inner freedom from the practical desire.’ #fourquartets #burntnorton #tseliot #eliot #poetry #poems #artseries #artandpoetry #wordsandpictures #20thcenturyliterature #20thcenturypoetry #originalart #originalartwork #abstractlandscape #landscapepainting #abstractart #contemporaryart #contemporarybritishpainting #britishcontemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #britishlandscape
