I managed to drag myself away from framing and video-editing to start a new series of paintings. I locked the studio door to avoid any distractions from little Emilie and Louis and started to ‘drip’ over textures I made earlier in the year. The initial inspiration for the images was the HD video I completed last month (post 31).
Drips of cadmium yellow, titanium white, burnt sienna and prussian blue took quite some time to control and didn’t have that elusive something that the painting needed; I’m not sure if it was the exasperation or inhalation of turps, but I found the largest brush I could (15cm) and started to drag it down the canvas, low-and-behold that elusive something appeared . . . So now I have a prototype and look forward to starting the others in the series when I’ve finished the framing and editing (which at the moment seems like no time soon).

I was pleased Andrew Bryant chose one of my comments as quote of the month; I emailed him with the request for a forum on Artists Talking and as it turns out is something they’ve been discussing at chez A-N recently. Wouldn’t it be good if Artists Talking became more a community, good for advice, support and discussion?

On Saturday I had a video screened at The Tenderpixel Gallery London as part of Rushes Soho Shorts. Unfortunately other commitments meant that I couldn’t attend. It will be showing every afternoon until 31st July.

They have also produced a DVD of all the films showing as part of their ‘experimental film’ screenings which will be sold in their new shop: Tenderproduct.
I’m planning to visit the gallery next month to pick up my copy – it will be good to make contact.
