In the north (subarctic), for 10 months of the year, in a fly-in community, teaching grade school classes. The internet connection is a line to the outside. This blog will be a place to record, visually and textually, the paintings […]
Sunday was my last day of my residency at Westgate Studios. Spent the day photographing around the building again, as well as having access to artist Ian Smith’s studio:http://tim-naish.blogspot.com/ as well as the empty 1st floor area which I hadn’t […]
It*s our last full day here today and it looks like yet again, we have a full programme of activities! Before doing anything though, I must apologise to Jet’s wife for not spelling her name correctly in this blog. Although […]
Smiley’s People ends with such a powerful feeling of despair that overwhelms the success of his plans. In fiction, unlike real life, no one is happy once their arch enemy is defeated. Holmes repeatedly mourns Moriaty’s demise at the Reichenbach […]

Sorting sketchbook images and trying to work out where to next. That suggests that I have finished something, but I am not sure that I have. My tutorial today went well and my personal tutor said that my work made […]
I have been spending most of the last day or two at home learning the Chinese text (in pinyin) and predictably enough it takes about 5 times longer to learn something in Chinese rather than something in English. Still, it […]
My sleep pattern is starting to get back to normal now ( after spending the first 2 days going to bed well after midnight and getting up again at 06.00 ) so I think, hopefully anyway, I can make more […]
