Village Advent 2022
I should probably keep these posts private till it’s all done and dusted in the remote chance that my neighbours are subscribed to this blog. Last year was a shot in the dark; I’d no idea what to expect, but I did what I thought would fit the bill. I’d just discovered Artivive too and I was keen on trying it out under sub-optimal conditions – in the dark, from my front garden, through glass. It did, but only after I’d realised, I needed to take the target image in situ, i.e in the dark, from the garden etc etc. … Continue reading Village Advent 2022
Painting the unpaintable because it’s already exquisite

When you wake up to find you’ve told Alexa to remind you about ‘painting spreadsheets’, normally, you’d ask yourself what cheese you’d been eating last night.

No perspective, nothing round or shaped, just linear tracts of paint that wouldn’t be 3D unless you cut them out and danced them in front of the canvas like they did with the … Continue reading Welcome to London; twinned with Arrakis since 2042
Personal painting – Rift #2

Noses begone!
I’ve been obsessing somewhat with facial features on the grounds that I absolutely can’t graduate this course without being able to render a decent eye or ear, or particularly a nose which never seems to fit the face properly when … Continue reading Noses begone!

Response to the poem The Whales by Harry Gallagher
10th September. Sometimes I forget just how draining involvement in unusual activity can be. I began this with the preamble to Steyning Arts trail in my mind and the preparation necessary for that, and tried to pick it up afterwards … Continue reading Response to the poem The Whales by Harry Gallagher
