Painting – a continuum

    A priority is to keep up the production of new paintings as a continuum. The internal discipline of my studio practice is very much in contrast to that of my attendance at and participation in the residency. My studio practice requires an intense self-discipline and internal energy to ensure that work is actually and continuously […]

Waiting

Intensive research has had to be put into the procurement of a camera to replace the one which literally was run over by a lorry on the way down to the London residency. Tragic but true – our car is a Citroen Berlingo Multispace van-like car, which runs on lpg gas and as such is a […]

Residency Reviewing

Residency Timetable Working backward in time, the latest being freshest in my mind. Featured image shows detail of a wall between Camberwell and South London Gallery, the location of our pop up show.

Beginning Again

Just back from the London Residency (will document as I go) and beginning the next painting oil on aluminium 50 x 55 cm I am interested specifically in the interaction between these two GIFS just run up after the first passage of paint was completed and photographed:       and an endless number of possibilities […]

Macrocosmic, Microcosmic.

I look at Hyperallergic and saw this one (linked), and in relation to this some of the works on paper which I have been making in recent years, came into mind. These works are now numerous but I have not yet focused on them, so I think I should begin to, particularly as I briefly […]

And We Begin Again

Beginning the next painting, (125 x 127 cm, oil on aluminium) So here you are and we begin again you are beautiful just as you are I turn you around and around all ways I would like to keep you forever just like this but I can only have you for a short time because […]

Tutorial (2nd) with Jonathan Kearney, 23/01/ 2018 (10.45 am)

(Header image: oil and graphite on paper JWR 2014) I am very invigorated by and grateful for Jonathan’s thoughts and insights regarding my project.  Talking in terms of the eventual installation of the GIFs I realise that the paintings, which are so taciturn in their nature, really can be brought out of hiding, untrapped. In envisaging […]
