Exhibition at Tregaron

A very busy time - an unexpected exhibition opportunity came along after a friend had to withdraw late on. So I have put together 'Horizons' at Rhiannon (Welsh Gold Centre) in Tregaron. It is a collection of paintings from the past five years, including one from my BA Extended Study, one from the very beginning of the PhD which marked the end of my MA themes and several that I have been working on since. There are also some small framed studies which show how the theme of 'Horizon' is developing, from initial ideas to finished paintings. I notice a trend to minimalism and geometric lines - this may be my interest in grids coming through. My recent burst of painting activity will no doubt move the next series on further - for me this is what it is all about.

ProMakers and Paint

Yesterday was a visiting family and shopping day. I called in at Crafty Bunch, a very new craft shop open in Ketley, Telford, to buy a couple of ProMarker pens. I find these useful for sketching as a range of greys are available (and some good landscape colours too). As for painting...it is progressing well, with six new canvases underway. How many of these will ever reach completion remains to be seen, but the process of painting has once again brightened my life during the snowy season. Photos to be posted soon, I hope!
