The level of satisfaction with my painting soars and plummets but at the moment I’m cautiously happy with the way things are going. I’ve adopted an attitude of not over-thinking what I’m doing but to just get on with it and enjoy letting the materials lead the way forward.
This is one of a series I’m doing based on Cape Cornwall rocks and beaches. I seem to be stuck on a turquoise and orange palette which reminds me of the colours which dominate in this part of the world.
I’m also enjoying messing about with charcoal. This grew out of trying to compose a painting of swimmers which is a favourite subject.
As I said I’m not thinking too deeply about what I’m doing right now. I’ve been to London galleries several times lately and I think I’m letting everything swirl about in my mind and hoping that the cumulative effect of seeing and doing will come together into a more ordered and profound body of work in September when the MA course gets going again…well it’s worth a try ?
