Update

On the off-chance that someone might be reading this I thought I ought to say something about why there have not been many additions to this Blog. For about two months now I have been having a lot of work done in the house to improve space and facilities for getting on with painting.
I have re-designed the study and will be getting some bespoke furniture built here in February. However I have had to completely clear the study of existing furniture and contents and that has been quite a big task, not only moving it all out but finding temporary homes for all the items.

Also I have had an extension built to the studio, which now gives me twice the space I had before. It has been built like a conservatory with double-glazed window units on two sides and a diffused polycarbonate roof to allow light through it. I hope to move in to the extension in the next couple of days after the floor has dried and I am able to paint it before installing the various items of storage and worktop furniture.

If all goes to plan - does it ever - I hope to begin adding new work to these pages.

New Year, new work

I have begun a series of organic 'abstract' images. they are small ones to start with - just 12" square. They are, so far anyway, painted in acrylic with mixed media - including, sawdust, earth and humus. The first one - Sun in a seed is included in an earlier post on this Blog and here is the second - Seed dispersal.

These paintings are likely to find their way into two exhibitions arranged for later in the year. I will need something like 15 paintings for each - so 28 to go!
