Saturday 26. 04. 14 Today I have finally had a chance to work on some monoprints incorporating dried flowers. I’m hopping to do one flower a month depending on which flowers are blooming. This is Broom from a month ago. Tomorrow I’m hoping to pick some poppies which should be dry by the time I get from Australia in June.
Saturday 26. 04. 14 Have finally finished a couple of paintings that I have been working on for ages. Interesting how sometimes a painting needs to be left for a while whilst others can be finished in nearly one session.
Wednesday 23. 04. 14 Did another monoprint of St Gregory’s Hemingstone this morning with a different composition. It has created some confusion for Chris and Viv as to which one to get!
Monday 21. 04. 14 Did a new chalk drawing for my bedroom wall today along with starting a new monoprint for St Gregory’s which I will print tomorrow.
Sunday 20. 04. 14 A day for finishing up and getting ready for new projects. I finished Bede House for Chris and Viv and also coloured in a monoprint of St Gregory’s their parish church in Hemingstone.
Tuesday 15. 04. 14 This is another that has been hanging around for a while. It is based on a photo I took over in the Corbières when Jason and I went over there in 2010.
Sunday 13. 04. 14 I realise that I have been working on this painting since last May but I think it is finally finished. This morning I took out the posts in the foreground and decided that it needed something else so put in Van Gogh returning from a day’s painting. It seems to work!
Tuesday 08. 04. 14 Another room with a view. This time my room at the Europa Hotel on Sussex Gardens.
Monday 07. 04. 14 Started a new series of views from places that I have stayed. This is the view of Chris and Viv’s garden in Hemingstone.
Friday 04. 04. 14 Yesterday went to Octon to work in to the atelier on some monoprints. Today it is back to the studio here working on the painting of Bede House for Chris and Viv.
