Undoing some U-turns!

Julia Cameron talks in The Artist's Way about U-turns or times in our lives when we buck at a difficult fence and instead of picking ourselves up and trying again, we stay lying down on the grass feigning incapacity to continue. Like most people I have had my share of those… Continue

Exhibited and survived!

Well, you guys, you did ask to hear how it went so I'm pleased to report that I managed the whole night without hiding behind a pillar once! Had an absolutely amazing turnout for both parts of the show (I am exhibiting with another collage artist who does digital collage work) in fact so much so that people were complaining that they couldn't get in to see the pictures! Absolutely fascinating to hear what people said and see which works they preferred - inevitably not the ones I would have tho… Continue

Follow Me

Just got back from a couple of days at the beach which blew the cobwebs out of my system as there was a stiff west wind - or poniente as its known around here - blowing all the time we were there! Not much time to post at the moment but you can follow the progr… Continue

Camera Doodles - Inspired by Camille

Couldn't quite get the hang of Camille's moving picture doodles so I just stuck with static for the moment. Also had a quick play with simple iPhoto tools to see what emerged. Thanks for the inspiration Camille:-) Continue

SOLD A PAINTING

Completely out of the blue, I just sold this painting :-) Although selling my work is definitely not my main motivation in making it, I have had it in mind that when I redo my blog in the autumn to make a new gallery or adjust my existing one to include prices so I feel doubly motivated to do this now. I… Continue

Taking Off

Well, the strategy of working on two paintings at once seems to be paying off. I am - as usual - going to miss my end of month deadline for completion but at least this time I am at approximately the stage I'm normally at with two paintings instead of one. Plus I figure, nex… Continue

Finding balance

My partner is creating a series of videos and slideshows on the theme of chinese philosophy and Tai Chi.
