I cannot believe I haven’t updated my blog since October. However a lot of unplanned circumstances have taken over the last few weeks but now I am back on track!
My paintings are on target. I have averaged 2 per month since starting this blog. My biggest concern at the moment is my unwillingness to pass through the start of Veltas Journey, which has meant that it has been tackled from all angles in a multitude of ways! And the next stages… which I hoped I would be planning at this point ,have not had a look in as yet!
How can one portray the utter devastation my mother as a young girl (displaced) witnessed in painterly way? How do I target the aftermath of whole cities flattened and the abject human despair?
The next stage will be the Displaced Persons quarters and their comradship and survival. I am hoping to reach this stage in my own journey through my mothers memories before too long. Certainly in the next two weeks if all goes well.
I really am striving to create a vehicle, a painterly biography of Veltas Journey, in such a way that the exhibition should also take the viewer on their own journey through those times reaching the terminus of her arrival in the UK.
