I have not posted for a while. In the time I have been quite on here I have been very active out there! The last few months have flown by. The main reason being I have been trying to work as much as possible on my art practice. This has heaped huge rewards, if not financially then certainly spirtually. I needed months of just doing, being, experimenting; all the things that are part of the artist thing. My second bedroom is covered in paint, the carpet ruined, the curtains multicolored and the walls plastered with new work. Francis Bacons famous studio has nothing on this! (ok, maybe his squalor was slightly more advanced than mine).
But what has come of these months of action? well, lots. LAst night I had 5 paintings in an exhibition at the RAC Club in London, I have 3 currently on display in another gallery and 3 more elsewhere. All I am happy with and they all show a new maturity and assured hand. I think it is amazing what a process of self reflection ad experimentation does to you. I now believe that this has to be done as mucg as possible, so we can break out of the chrysalis we wrap yourselfs in and become the butterflies we all crave to be once in a while.
