rich, deep, velvety reds

[WEDNESDAY 28 SEPTEMBER 2011]
Back to the Wednesday Painting then...  I had yet more paid work to do first thing, then I cleaned my filthy bicycle, and then the usual email admin.

The creative werk did not begin until midday, and the painting not until 2pm.  I've been putting together a submission for an exhibition: deadline 30 September. The details are secret, but it will involve 12 small canvases, laid out in sequence (as in this sketch).

I returned to 'Home Sweet Home', I find I can werk on the slightly wet layer of last week, though if left for a day or 2 longer, the canvas would have to be rested.  Today I gave it some rich, deep, velvety reds and I brought in the surrounding blackness.

There's no place like home

The Wednesday Painter has been away.  The Thursday Painter has stepped in for a day to get things started again.  After a couple of hours' paid werk, he primed that big new canvas.  He will take lunch and then begin the creative pursuits in earnest.

A productive afternoon followed, werking away on 'Home Sweet Home'.

The time is 11.35am, I have been doing all manner of crap computer admin stuff this morning.  I am going to paint now, as lord knows I've done precious little of that this summer.  Here I go then...

Werking on 'Home Sweet Home', I took a break to make a brief appearance talking to Mark Radcliffe on 6music for 'The Chain' feature*.  Managed to get a website plug in.  Just logged on to find a spike of about 1,800 page views at just after 2pm.  I should go on the radio more often!

Back to the painting now though...


It just wasn't happening, so I did some constructive prep-werk: A big, new, blank canvas awaits the return of the Wednesday Painter.
