It is a few months since I last wrote in my blog. Its interesting that, I have had many ups and downs since that last post and I am now finishing a commision – yes a commision! and embarking on work for 2 joint gallery spots next year, a public exhibition and a couple of other group exhibitions. I am also currently updating my website after deciding I would like to write more.
The last couple of months have brought some sucess, with the commision and exceptance into two gallery exhibitions. On the flip side I have been rejected for many more and feel fristrated by the lack of movement (on my part) in a positive direction in regards to new pieces.
Loads to sketching has taken place and I am putting ideas down on paper all the time, which is great. But I do so want to get some feedback that is not just from people I know personally. So I have recently started getting involved with the loacl art scene and meeting other artists, which has been great. All are practicing art in different ways, either as proffessional artists, part-time adult education or full time teachers. All seem to have a real drive in life, to do what they want and I admire them so much. I WILL be taking that plunge soon I hope and I cannot hold it off for too long. I am getting desperate, like a prisoner waiting to be released, i feel I must be free and soon.
