Recipe @ 69 Smith St Gallery

I have just completed my entry for the end of year member's show at 69 Smith St Gallery.
The theme was "Recipe' and I was struggling to find a thread that appealed... then it came to me. Alchemy of Love. Here is the image I had printed today. It has evolved several weeks - with many iterations. So many of the classic alchemy symbols could be applied to love.
It is a digital print, 50cm x 70 cm framed.

The show will be open on Wednesday 30th November for three weeks. The opening is on Dec 3rd from 4pm - 6pm.

Contemporary Artist Society Show

I have completed 2 works for the Contemporary Artists Society show at Burnley Harbour.

The details for the show which is on from Dec 2 to Dec Dec 4 are here.

These 2 paintings are larger than my usual ones. They are 120 cm x 120 cm.

Quite large.

I am very pleased with them - though they have taken an age to complete.

Now I have to get moving to complete 3 smaller works.

Lorne - it rained

Went to Lorne for the day - it rained on and off. But managed to get to the beach for a stroll between showers. Even the seagulls looked a bit hesitant.

Children always seem to enjoy the beach despite the cold.......

Anglsea - it rained

Went to Anglsea for the weekend. Saturday it rained pretty much all day. Spent a great deal of time looking out of the windows ... at the rain.

Painting again

After an intensive year of photography and printmaking I have been immersed in the studio this week, painting. I am getting works ready for the Contemporary Artist Society exhibition at Burnley Underpass.
More details later.
Here are 2 images of the under painting from the first work. It is a large work for me - 120 cm x 120 cm.
So I had to photograph it in the back yard - and I liked the shadows that fell across it - and the stray leaves from a rogue spinach plant.
