Hereford College of Arts

The pace is really hotting up and it is time to get the tools ready for fixing up work in the summer show.

It has been a welcome relief to go to the Hay Literary Festival this week to listen to artists being interviewed by Tim Marlowe. These have included Anthony Gormley and the Chapman Brothers.

It is great to listen to artist talking, to hear their own personal feedback on their works and inspirations. It is really inspiring.

I have a big group crit tomorrow so little time to write but I will give you all an update on my progress!!!!!!

Had a peer group crit today and I explained that I wanted to move elements from my previous images and introduce new elements into new and different surroundings. I showed the students my two new vertical compositions and explained that I feel that my drawings and paintings are the foundation of my work.

It was so sunny today and the analogy continues with the setting of the sun outside.

The lists get ever longer and more frequent and detailed. So little time to complete the final work in. I hope the final push is worth it!

I am very pleased to have tried displaying my art in a local church as part of my 'banners and paintings' exhibition.

The lighting was great and the works looked very fitting for the venue. The bright colours of my work and the decorative nature seemed to stand out well within the fabric and furnishing of the building. I wonder if everybody else thought this too!
