All artists should be on a mental disability allowance from the government because being an artist is a mental affliction which has been proved by scientists. I have suffered most of my life . On the whole I am not interested in being cured but a kind of pain management would be good.
My latest creative venture is the setting up of an artists retreat in France. It is a work in progress. The year has started off with unseasonally bloody cold weather reaching -11 at one point. A pipe managed to burst to add to the unpleasantness. Thankfully cold weather does not last long in south West France and is only prolonged by the proximity of the Pyranees mountains. It is milder now and I am getting more work done to my studio which I am converting from the old pigsty and hen house. It will hopefully be my permanent studio.
I love being in Sariac, Sariac-Magnoac to give the village its full name. I feel at peace here and content. It is a great place to work. I want to share this with other artists. Which is why it is to become an artists retreat.
This blog is about the development of this project and how my artwork also develops as a result and interactions with artists
