It's been a really busy week.
Time is at a premium at the moment and sleep is the casualty. For the last week the earliest I have been tucked up in bed is 12:30 am. The norm has been 1:30am and even 2:00am I'm having to get up at 6am at the momet to go to work, after work it is sorting my son out and and getting him to bed and then after dinner i finally have some time to concentrate on art.
Over the last week I have been in the studio a few nights preparing for my latest exhibition that I put up on Tuesday.
Last week I had the preview night for my exhibition at the university of Derby. It went really well and there seemed to be quite a lot of peole there to see the work. I also had another preview night on Friday which was at Derby Museum and Art Gallery. I have a painting in the current main show that is about imagined landscape. This exhibition uses the museums collection of landscape and exhibits this work along with work from a few invited artists dealing with landscape in the present. I was privilleged to be asked to be part of it and was extremely happy to see my work exhibited alongside works by Lowry, Joseph Wright and Michael Porter.
Last week was a week of proposals. I had to write quite a lot of proposals and this has been the main reason for so many late nights.
I have finally had indication that my materials budget may soon be paid, I hope so as I need to start making some new work.
