With the move to Penzance in a month looming I haven't been working on much over the festive period and will be packing my studio here up next week. I have been experimenting with some three dimensional paintings of late though [see below]. I will releasing some digital prints while I am temporarily studioless, the first of which is below, imaginatively titled Square 1. It is 20" x 20" in an edition of 5, with certificate of authenticity.

I thought I was done for this year but I dropped two pieces off at Woodfield pavilion yesterday for the winter exhibition. It runs from December 6th until January 28th [I think]. The Map Is Not The Territory and Something Hot, both rejected for the Guildford House Open last month, will be gracing the walls along with many other local artists. These will probably be the last pieces I show in London before my move to Cornwall. Not the last time ever though!

I've got a big, approximately 4ft square, piece of wood to paint on, so I've been mocking up some ideas in Photoshop. It's the closest I get to sketching. I've got some smaller works on paper to do in November so not sure if I will start the big one this year or not. And any of these ideas that I don't use I can use for smaller pieces.

Tonight is the Private View and Garden Party at the Anna Lovely Gallery in SE26 and it's a scorcher in London. Been finishing a new piece for the next Sprout Open in October. It isn't finished yet but I sent a submission photo of the progress so far...

I've been busy making some new work, since the successful show at Woodfield Pavilion ended. Some of which I hope to be showing as part of the Streatham Festival, where I think I will be in four different locations, mid October. There is a series emerging, which are larger versions of the piece I had rejected by the RA for this years Summer Exhibition. I'm not sure whether to hold them back until I have done a few more and exhibit them all together or just put them up on here for sale now. I'm going to write a bit more about them and post it later by which time I might have made my mind up. The other two are stand alone works.
