Monday 28. 11. 11 This one is for Torontonians. I was interested in painting artificial light and I liked the couple who I think were father and daughter.
Painting
Christmas present
Friday 18. 11. 11 Did this monoprint this afternoon as a Christmas present to be printed on a T shirt.
Another day of rain, another painting
Tuesday 08. 11. 11 More rain today so worked happily in the studio. Inked in a plate for a new monoprint and also did this small painting looking in from the stairs to my kitchen.
Rain
Saturday 05. 11. 11 It has rained again most of the day so I have spent it in the studio after going to the supermarket this morning. Above are two of the three completed today.
Waiting
Friday 04. 11. 11 I’m wondering what my next motif will be after I have finished the white van series. In the meantime I am now doing some small more personal paintings.
London
Tuesday 01. 11. 11 Yesterday started a new white van painting and also did this monoprint of the Thames Barrier. Today did a small portrait of Poppy but scraped it all off as it wasn’t really working. Hopefully better luck tomorrow.
Chalk drawings
Friday 28. 10. 11 I have now done over 30 of these and will be producing of book of them sometime before Christmas.
One more to go
Wednesday 26. 10. 11 Finished this white van this afternoon. It is outside the old Citroen garage in St André de Sangonis. I have just started on what I think is the last in this series – a van in the canal at Clermont!
Catch of the day
Saturday 15. 10. 11 Today I have been experimenting with some small monoprints of fish from the mediterranean. A couple of weeks ago I bought an old book from the French book dealer in the market in which there were some old engravings of fish – these monoprints are the result. I have done four so far and think I will do more and perhaps some in colour.
Daily drawing
Thursday 29. 09. 11 I have been doing a chalk drawing every day except whilst I was away.
