Autumn certainly feels in the air today - a reminder that despite everything this year has thrown at us that time moves forward at an unrelenting pace. So much so that I've not updated this bit of my website in ages.
So what have I been up to? Well you've probably noticed that my website has undergone a massive overhaul - thanks go to Kerri Lawrence who is a walking mine of information about all things commerce. This means that if you see a piece of work on the website you like that you can also by it - no need for bank transfers or paying in cash anymore - saying that I'm happy to take payment that way if you prefer!
Work in the studio is coming along well; I have recently finished a 50 x 50cm acrylic on wood panel, a 30 x 30cm on MDF, a 20 x 20cm peice on wood panel plus a number of mixed media pieces on paper. The smaller painting and mixed media pieces will be shown on the Combe Down Virtual Arts Trail this coming weekend.
With online events coming up I have been trying to capture what my studio is like for visitors and I've managed to create this little video below; its a combination of images and video clips around the studio. No commentary I'm afraid - too busy trying not to trip over anything to speak!
Have a good week.

I am now working towards running socially distanced workshops in line with restrictions; update to follow.
"Really enjoyed Karen George's Acrylic Transfer Print workshop at High Littleton today. Such a simple yet effective technique. One I'll definitely be doing more of. Thank you, Karen."
Sketchbooks
I love sketchbooks - working in them and looking at other artists' sketchbooks! Such an inspiration.
I always take a sketchbook away on holiday and use it to keep a visual diary - years on I still remember where I was sitting when I was doing the sketch. There must be something about being more aware and actually internalising that moment in time. I'd recommend everyone, artist or not, to take the time to stop and capture a memory - so much more personal than a quick photograph.
I also use them to explore ideas whether it's composition, colour and or trying out new materials. I have recently acquired a concertina sketchbook which allows for work to extend across numerous pages and for ideas to spill over from page to page.
