Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Thank god for the Holidays!

It's been a troubling few weeks. I find myself trying to pin down why I paint, what I paint and why I paint it. This is on top of a prolonged period of thinking that I have no ability what so ever.

The work seemed to be getting worse, with everything I tried making things worse, though looking back at the last few months work , I see progress has indeed been made.

Things haven't been made easier by the builders moving into the studio, starting expansion work that was supposed to be finished in the summer!

I found myself at a complete stand still for the last 3-4 weeks, although in the last week I have started a new work with a new approach.

I never thought I'd say it, but I welcome the christmas hols. A couple of weeks away from the studio is what I need, hopefully I can get lots of drawings done, and return with a large source of research.

I'll discuss the work in detail in later posts, adding images to illustrate.
