Erewash Fine Art Residency 2008

I haven't submitted a post for a while, things have been really hectic what with work and art. I just haven't had the time to actually write a post.

I've been into the studio on Friday and Monday for the past three weeks. I hae started 2 new paintings and finished off a few others.

I've had a few rejections in the post for some applications although there are still some outstanding opportunities that I am waiting to hear about.

Everything seems to be fine at the moment, nothing new to report really. I've been into the studio a few times working on paintings in progress and these are coming close to being finished. I will soon need to start some new work so I have to order some new materials. It looks like I will have to pay this out of my own pocket as my materials budget has still failed to materialise (pardon the pun)

I've applied for a quite a few things in the last week which is a real chore for me at the moment. I am having problems burning discs to send out. I own 2 cd burners (laptop and main computer) but they both have stopped working so I am having to pester friends to do my disks for me.

I have had confirmation of the work that is to be in Derby Museum and Art Gallery in April and had confirmation of a the amount of space allocated for a group show at Deda in Derby in May so I am now aware of what work I need to fulfull all my exhibitions in April/May. I will need to make some more work to allow me to be selective.

I am now staring to research for making some different work. I am really looking forward to creating something different and I think it will be really healthy to do this.
