Had a trip to Salisbury on Sunday and visited the Arts Centre there. At reception there was a box of books to be taken for donations. I bought a few but the one I am REALLY excited about is “Design and Form” by Johannes Itten-It is fabulous-I am pretty slow at reading(dyslexic and all that) but this book is just a dream-It makes so much sense presenting “The Basic Course at the Bauhaus”-bring back the good old days!!! I anticipate learning a lot from this wonderful book.
I had a whole day at the studio yesterday punctuated by doctors appointment and sorting out WEA courses! Started one course today and have had the go ahead to run another tomorrow. It’s all time away from the studio but its all money towards materials-oil paints and framing and rent if and when I get a studio space. I put in my application yesterday-fingers crossed!
I am constantly thinking of my own art work, the exhibition and presentation-one thought is to use scaffolding to display my first large canvas-there is certainly a lot about at the moment! I will try to get a local company to sponsor me-maybe lend me some scaffold poles etc for the exhibition. Will get on the phone in the next day or two.
I am waiting to stretch my big big canvas but I will have to do it in the gallery space so waiting for an opportunity and a time when it is quiet. I am also hoping to have another pair of hands to help me-I have had a few kind offers of help-I really do appreciate being a part of ASP.
All for now-more soon!
