New Work for New Year.




New Year... 2014

Last new year dragged its feet for me, with snow interrupting the flow, lessons and outings cancelled - bumpy. So this year I made the decision not to start lessons until the third week in January (next week) To allow a settling in and recovery from the festive season. It has paid off in that I have made some encouraging starts to painting and projects for the next couple of months.
Jim Livingstone has put me in touch with a gallery in Kirkudbright - The Whitehouse Gallery. It is a lift to have a new venue to show work in. Also doing a workshop in Shropshire in February which is titled 'Making An Impression '- mono type/ mono print. I have such enthusiasm for these techniques, the transferred mark and the unpredictability that it brings.

And tomorrow The Artist Lunch' get together with fellows who may or may not know each other but who share the common problems and pluses of creative life. Lunch on a Monday? Who else can do that!
(Does not mean we will get on!)

It was a stimulating and enjoyable addition to time spent in Surrey, so we will see if it has any legs here.
