Summer Holiday pics




More inspiration


Someone else likes red crosses..a recurring theme in my own work.


The amazing and wonderful Joseph Cornell.


John Soanes House, Lincolns Inn Fields - one of my favourite places in London. Go there if you are ever nearby.


Groups of pictures in lovely colours and a studio I would love to have. Sadly not mine.

Islands




I have been working on the canvases for Adrians Island exhibition at Canfas gallery. I want to expand on this and have lots of ideas. Years ago I seen a really fantastic exhibition in New Zealand, and there was a wall of little cavasses in black, terracotta and brownish dhades with white. Little detailed paintings, massed together but they were all totally gorgeous and I have wanted to do something similar for myself. As a collector and closet archivist the idea of multiples really appeals to me.

Surfer boy...




P has been surfing like mad recently to take advantage of the last few summer evenings before the dark of winter sets in. Hence we have had some lovely evening at Southerndown, with beautiful sunsets.

Issue 12


Time has come around for Issue 12, deadline for the pages is this weekend. I have been multifariously inspired this time, as many new and gorgeous things have been percolating through my creative juices. Paul and I went to the British Art show in Bristol, and though I hated the show mainly, there were some lovely things in the bookshop, mostly Japanese graphics books that I loved. Anyway this sent me thinking down a whole new path on the creative front which I feel full of enthusiasm for. I have been busy sewing and making now for weeks.
I also have Adrian's Islands show coming up and have completed a tryptich for this, which also needs to be dropped off this weekend. Busy busy bee!!
