I’ve been scratching my head trying to think what to write about this month. When I review the art I have been working on it all seems rather paltry, although I know I have been busy. This has led me […]
So, where to begin? It has been a long time time since my last post…a very long time. Happily I have not been at a total standstill practice wise…in fact I have been pretty busy over the last few months […]

snow ! again ! there’s a bitter wind blowing too. i had to get out into it with the dog to get some perspective on my week and my weekend. i take a customary moment to stare out the window […]
post dinner and we’re all sat solitary in the living room, our faces lit by our devices, the dog sleeps. i glance through the curtains at the last of the daylight backlighting a chimney and digital arial. this day has […]
out of the window i see natures marks place upon a foggy canvas. the recent extreme weather affording time to eat, relax, tidy piles of paper and spend time with the family. my fingers tingling with excitement as i compose […]
part of being human is the sharing of experience and today is one of those once in a while days. our dog florence jumps up onto the window sill and once again sets to watch the swirling snow fall with […]
my phone has been lighting up with yellow warnings of snow – i look out the window and the bight sunlight makes my eyes squint, the bluesky clear of cloud. warnings of things to come. its been half term so […]
i glance over to the window – the afternoon sun lighting up **** phone rings ***** sometime later its getting dark now, my earlier happy mood further helped by a really positive phone call that potentially will led into something […]
i’ve met with the skin and bone trio. greg, walt and geogre have been playing together for about 18 months and they are looking to add visual elements to their set. we met in the first floor function […]

having persuaded the dog to let me type i turn my thoughts to creating this post in which i catch up with the last few weeks. i glance over to the dog who has taken up her spot in the […]
feeling better about my practice, i take to my keyboard to further practice writing about it. steady progression within the non linear film commission makes me feel good about that part of my practice. i pause to stare out of […]
