The latest pieces from the series
"Communication techniques of the easily silenced" |
This week in the studio layers of paint and paper continued to be added to my latest canvases from my "Communication techniques of the easily silenced" series of small works. I also finished another wee square work on canvas (20x20cm/8x8") and worked on two large 80x80cm canvases, getting one of them close to completion.

I also filmed my Tuesday Studio Video Visit, if you missed it on my
Facebook art page, you can see it
here. You will be able to see the small works being created and that my studio is getting a bit messy again (always a good sign).

I continued working on organising
Open Studios this week as well. I think we have it mostly together now, just a few more nuts and bolts and finishing touches and then I can turn to getting my studio in order so that the public can enjoy it!

Large works in progress

Last week, I mentioned our culture jaunt to the modern for the fabulous Jenny Saville paintings in the NOW exhibition. This week in cultural outings, I had the pleasure of meeting visiting Australian artist,
Jan Allsopp. Jan is visiting the UK on holiday and delightfully arranged to visit with me in my studio. I adored spending time with her in a local coffee shop as well as in my studio. I have admired Jan's work and ethos for a while now and to meet her in person was a treat. It is always good to talk with other artists that share the same painterly language and headspace. Visit
Jan's website and learn more about her beautiful work.
This world is large and we are all so spread apart. The world is at the same time, small and filled with kindred spirits tucked in the corners and it is always a joy to meet one.
Until next week, know in your heart of hearts we are more alike than we are different and the world needs you and your art.
Megan it was such a pleasure to meet you! I loved finding out that we artists might be scattered geographically, but we are all the same when you get beneath the accents and cultural differences. I love your message that the world needs each and everyone’s art Thank you for being such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteJan, thank you again for taking the time during your holiday to arrange a visit. Your visit was a highlight of the week. I love your "creating for happiness" ethos and know that it inspires many. Thank you for your work and all that you give.
