Insightful madness

Suzanne Conboy-Hill

That’s today. Why? Because on the one hand I’m dithering over a warm-up exercise for the drawing course (a warm-up exercise!) and on the other I’m pricing up art work for the forthcoming village Christmas Fair in November. If anything says conflicted more than the fear of not being able to make temporary patterns with crumbs or water or, in my case, cold coffee, set against assigning a public value to your own paintings then I don’t want to meet it in a dark alley.

In case you have stumbled in here from somewhere else and you’re wondering what this is about, this is my obligatory first post under the auspices of the OCA BA(Hons) Fine Art degree. If you stick around, there’s likely to be all kinds of art work pitching up, some of it humiliatingly inept, but some I’ll be proper chuffed with. We might even agree on which is which sometimes! This isn’t my only WordPress blog, so you’d think setting it up would be a doddle, but this is a course template with its own categories so I’m not sure yet … Continue reading First Post
