Eynsham Gods

Back to the Ashmolean for another life drawing session. I decided to expand the drawing this time and finish the next time. These gods are in the bottom of the atrium and I viewed them looking down from the ground floor. Whilst paying particular focus to Apollo’s damaged godhood, a primary school teacher took up her position next to me and started teaching her class about Apollo being amongst other things the god of the arts. I think I was about to be a ‘teaching aid’ but then she clocked what I was drawing and slid at speed away from me!!

Quelle horreur!

Drawing is a strange process for me. One part recording, one part meditation time, the eternal process of mark making and finally the deepening of memory.

Colour of Music’ still continues but at times I forget what I was planning here. I am looking for paint in full thickness and clear colour. I am finding this a challenge but need to explore other ways of using colour
