Studiotimes

Finished painting, painting in progress  

Around the studio

Things that are happening in the studio at the moment. These photos are all pretty dark I'm afraid - was a late night working!

From the Studio...

Notes from the studio

Trying to snatch moments in the studio where I can - with the children home on their holidays this isn't very often! We are off camping soon, when we return I will bring them here with me & let them loose... (sorry studio neighbours!)

Wednesday

In the studio today

I need the fire on now. Wish I could stay longer.

28

Close by the studio is a brilliant Oxfam bookshop, which has a great selection of art books, so I often find myself being lured inside. I found this one a couple of months back, whilst still in the grips of a freezing winter.

I've always loved Egon Schiele's paintings, but didn't know much of his life story. I was shocked to learn that he died from the Spanish Influenza at the age of 28!

Twenty-eight! - such an amazing body of work, by that age - so sad to think of how much more he could have achieved - what a loss.

So the studio is gradually filling up - up until recently it has been so, so cold in there, my trusty heater has been my favourite companion (alongside Radio 4, of course!).

It has been lovely to finally have a space of my own, I just long for more time in there - I miss it when life calls.
