Well it feels like I have been very busy doing nothing over the last few weeks. I am actually trying to get some stuff finished so have not started anything new. Except for a session mono printing, of which I have done lots over the years but seemed to have forgotten every thing that particular day and ended up with a mess. The next ones will be better……
Because I feel pressured as far as time goes I feel like I need to be producing something each session. It doesn’t stop me playing and messing at the time, I just feel more disappointed afterward when I don’t get a ‘result’ this would never have bothered me in the past. I want to play I want to play all the time…oh bother gainful employment!
I have also been out and about a bit looking at some other local artists in the Cheshire Open Studios event. I didn’t get round too many but I did visit some, which I enjoyed very much. Every one I saw was glad to see me although I was obviously not there to buy, and they talked openly about their work and practice. The presentation of the work was quite different from house to house some set out like a gallery with price lists and print racks and other’s just house walls filled with pictures. I like looking through the sketch books best..will I be brave enough to put mine out they can be so personal.
