It is 11.24am. I should be out in the studio painting. But instead I've opted to begin today's blog. The weather is foul: a sheet of fine drizzle driving in at a 45 degree angle. This makes moving the 'Home Sweet Home' canvas back to the studio something of an impossibility. I should probably re-commence werk on the blue 'morse-code' canvas.
I will stop typing and head on my way now...
A short bout of werk followed. The rain stopped long enough to allow the transfer of the 'HSH' canvas from house to garage. Feeling a bit peckish now. As you may have noticed I'm not quite so full of purpose today. This is partly due to the exhibition I had in the pipeline falling through. Probably a blessing to be honest. So I seem to have just slipped quickly back into the old routine, and am just carrying on as before.
Thank heavens for long afternoons. Between 2.30pm and 7pm I werked hard on the blue neon 'morse-code', adding extra glow and laying the foundations for the blue glow catching the edges of the "rock face".
The canvas is removed from the studio and placed in a room, in the real world.
Still time to paint, though, so I pay close attention to the green neon bordering on 'HSH', dry brushing and spreading the glow and letting go - carefree painting, gestural strokes, loose wrists. Painting joy.
