The Artistic Urge from Prehistory to the Present.

I think this painting is finished. I was quite melancholic during the time i was working on this painting. It reminds many of my colleagues of a crowd of people.

I started to put some more layers of paint on my series of canvases. It became quite a dunting task trying to paint them all at once and they started to loose their individuality. I decided that it would be best to stop working on them all simultaneously and to concentrate on one at a time. I am annoyed that I painted them all blue now.

I have started on a series of paintings which I hope will have a feeling of continuity.  When i concentrate on one painting at a time, my differing mood and psychological preoccupations mean that each painting can be quite different in style from the last. Therefore I wish to experiment and see the result of working on a number of paintings simultaneously. I have already noticed a difference in the way I have been painting and the way I work the canvas is different as I have to do each stage on a number of different canvases. I hope that this will be a positive rather than a negative difference. I am limited by my space so I may not be able to achieve the result I desire. My physical movements will me more limited than I would like.

Two more canvases made…
