Open Studios weekend 2

Medway Open Studios  is a great opportunity to visit artists in their own working environment as well as in group exhibitions. It’s a chance to talk to artists and makers about process and thinking. I like listening to people’s stories about their relationship with art, how they have always loved art, how they gave up for various  necessary reasons and also how they felt discouraged to try. I love it when visitors try a technique and realise that they can have a go for their own pleasure. It’s also a great opportunity in between visitors for me to work on pieces.

Commission in acrylics

Commission accepted by client and ready for framing. I was working not in my usual style of late but in a style that I  worked in when developing glazing and layering in acrylics. The client saw two smaller pieces and wanted large paintings in the same style for two alcoves.
