An opportunity has arisen, about 5 miles from my front door, for me to “register interest” in occupying a studio. I think I have said here, early on in my blogging, that I didn’t want a studio away from home, […]

November 5th Working on this painting again today. Remembering the feeling of trying to draw in the cold wind under a grey sky. How it must have been to live in those isolated cottages.
Here’s the video I finished last night, with a little more tweaking this morning. This one I find very satisfying. With a couple of adjustments it might be the work I choose for the exhibition. I don’t think I’ve mentioned […]

BEING THERE Today…. a small Pool Arts posse loaded stuff from the studio space at Brazenose Street to the lovely big space at The Fed. This was in the midst of a relatively mild bit of a massive storm. We […]
