Very Cold but in the studio



                                                  The Treasure in it  ii  Acrylic on paper


Working on this series of paintings with this rather mysterious tower.  Finding working spontaneously with the paint very exciting as I have alway rather shied away from this 'gestural' way of making paintings.  Also enjoying using acrylic paint and the speed at which it dries is so much quicker compared with oils and that helps to keep the work flowing a bit more fluidly. That too is assisting this process.

Very very cold weather which is making time in the studio rather limited as I can feel the cold coming up through the concrete floor so have to limit myself to just a few hours each day.

However, I am also making input into my website which Paul at Virtual Shropshire is putting together for me.  I am hoping it will all be up and running by the beginning of April.

More about exhibition 'Illuminated Field' next time.
