My ambition this summer has been to paint. So once my classes finished at the beginning of July I started to focus on the Art Barn exhibition in October. These things always seem a long way off! I must say it's exciting to have the opportunity to build up a new collection of work and let ideas 'grow'.
Needless to say there have been moments of creativity and many moments of family life and events, but I actually think that times when I can't paint fire me up for when I can! Interruptions can be good because, metaphorically or otherwise, they force you to stand back and see what is really going on.
At the same time, Martin is feeling the pressure in the framing department! He now has a paint sprayer which is much less time consuming than painting by hand. And the framing comes from Rose and Hollis in London - they have supplied us for the last couple of years and are very efficient.
Ceramicist Hilary LaForce who exhibited with me in a group show last year and Rupert B Parkinson will also be exhibiting their work. The exhibition runs from October 20th to October 28th.
