I have worked more on the roses painting. It is going the way all my work goes – towards more control and detail. It is to an extent free of the subject.( as with the drawing ) I feel a little like a tightrope walker who is unsure of the security of the end that he is travelling toward.
When I started this blog I was unsure of its direction or purpose. It seemed an opportunity not to be ignored. I feel that it has given me a medium in which to think about what I am doing. I must think in terms that I know will have to be written, and therefore have to structure my thoughts and push them further than I might otherwise have done. It remains however somewhat unnerving to add my mental droppings to the sea of virtual chatter. There is something of the message in a bottle about it all, except that I wait on the shore for the message to return.
