Saturday 27. 12. 14 Have just added a new gallery From the Road with a video that I shot one lunch time last summer. I attached my iPod to the scooter with duct tape and then rode down the Bedarieux road to Villeneuvette. I will also add other “road” paintings to the gallery later.
Wednesday 17. 12. 14 This is a small edition of hand coloured prints of rooms that I have stayed in this year. The images are B&W printed on watercolour paper and then coloured with watercolours. All the images are from an on-going series of oil paintings which can be seen in Rooms with Views under galleries.
Friday 12. 12. 14 Back in Canada for Christmas. I went to Poppy’s Christmas Concert on Wednesday (she’s the one with the red ukelele) and of course it snowed yesterday – it must be Christmas in Canada!!!
Thursday 04. 12. 14 Just back from a week in London with Carole. I saw a brilliant Kiefer show at the RA – a very extensive retrospective featuring paintings, sculptures, installations, watercolours, books etc – best show I have seen in London since the big Hockney show at the RA. Also saw Polke at Tate Modern and the Turner at Tate Britain, the Constable at the V&A and a small Hambling show at the National gallery. Besides all this gallery going we met Marie-Pierre and Olivier for the weekend and had a a great time wandering around the parks and the streets. We even had time to check out the lego Santa Claus at Covent Gardens and of course the lights and to see the movie Mr Turner.
