Back to the studio
Well, the break has been swift and enjoyable! I hope your festive season was a happy one. I am excited about being back in the studio. It’s a bit like going back to the gym, however. I am taking a while to loosen up! – And loosen up I must as I have a lot of work to do after an encouraging start to the year with some nice sales.
A collection of things Rosie and I drew inspiration from yesterday. Coral trees, palm, tepee - the tepee reminds me of the cubbies I used to build out of sticks as a child.
Every Monday I work with a fellow artist friend, Rosie Lloyd Giblett. She comes to my studio and we paint and draw along side each other. I enjoy the break from being solo and it is good to bounce off one another and get feedback. Our work is very different, however we share a love for the natural world having grown up on farms.
This year I have enrolled in an un-tutored life drawing class which will be on every Wednesday at the Cooroy Butter Factory. Drawing provides the scaffolding of painting and is a discipline that I intend to keep practicing.
Apart from the making, I am in heavy planning mode for 2012/2013. Here’s hoping I have some exciting announcements soon.
