On paper
Run out of canvases and only a week to go at Stiwdio Maelor – so I’m playing on paper
‘Trajectory’ diptych (2 x Arches paper 76 x 56cm) still taped to the table
Another one still in progress
Series of smaller pieces worked together – 6 bits of sugary sweetness! Largest 2 are half sheets of Arches ie 56 x 38cm
‘All things nice… raspberry ripple?’
2 half sheets Arches – each 56 x 38cm
Ready to go
Hoping to get these 4 framed locally here in Wales. My fingers are firmly crossed that some or all of them will then be sent to Terre Verte gallery in Cornwall for ‘ Into the West’, the summer group show I have been invited to participate in there
‘Musing’ – 80cm sq
‘Spirited’ 100cm x 80cm
Skylight 1 – 50cm sq
Skylight 2 – 50cm sq
journey inward
These are the 4 stages of my most recent largish canvas
It is on coarse unstretched (and creased badly from being in my suitcase) jute canvas about 4′ x 3′
This was actually the second session, I forgot to take a photo of when it was all red and yellow, with a bit of turquoise, stapled to the floor on Saturday morning
Sunday, more sombre with shapes consolidating
Early Monday morning – loads of alizarin crimson overlaid on the lower half and a mess in the middle and a scatty unresolved indecisive upper third
Maybe we’re getting somewhere
2 weeks to go
I will need the whole of the last week for the works to dry, wrap and arrange couriers or post
