Well, it’s been a couple of weeks since I last put together a blog entry – not because I’ve been holidaying in the Bahamas or anything; far from it!
In the first week, I visited my studio space at uni to spend some time experimenting in the pages of my sketchbooks. Ideas relating to the remaining two long paintings I am yet to do.
I finished the second of the four long paintings too – didn’t know what was going to happen until I stood there in front of the canvas, with an array of all sorts of materials. In the event, I freely expressed the life of the nautical man whose end comes soon.
With the teenager & the nautical man done – all that remains is the businessman and the elderly gentleman. I shall be doing those whilst in the studios over the next two weeks.
The stories/narrative of these ‘people’ emerges to me as I go along. They have grown as invividuals in time to fade away to nothing once more.
I do hope they leave a mark.
