The Seed.Art.Lab to open in November!

Tonight I've been working in invitations and plans for the November Launch of the new Studio which will be known as Seed. Art. Lab.

I've taken the address off this invite and my mobile number ...the home number is there so if you have any desire to come along or find out about this event please contact me by phone, through this blog or another online site.

I'll add more information in the coming weeks.

For a longer post update visit the Visual Eclectica blog where I added recent news the other day. The new business card arrived by mail today with 4 new postcard designs and a banner. 

Wishing all a good week!

bye for now,

20 works on cotton paper

Today I was delighted to have energy to return again to the studio after a rugged 5 days fighting a most unpleasant virus. Eyes and nose running, bad cough... exhausted... basically I had to knock off work and lay low... so today, feeling up to it, I sat in the studio working on a quiet, not-so-demanding small series of paintings on 300 gm cotton watercolour paper 100 x 210 mm ...  as below.

I started about ten am and worked through till 9pm with only a few breaks to prepare meals etc.

I wanted to do these as an exercise in composition, atmosphere and variations on a simple theme.

Getting depth and energy into these small paintings was a great challenge

I liked creating variations of mood, texture and approach. As an exercise it was really successful to reflect on how a simple motif becomes such a wonderful point of departure!  

Well its late so I will keep moving.

More soon... November 23 I will open my studio to the public... so lots to organise. Bye for now!
