39 Hazel Close

Back in the studio
Tuesday 30. 07. 19 Back in the studio today. Didn’t start anything new but have lots of ideas. Worked on a small painting of Sainsbury’s Whitton, decided to redo the trees in Flea Market and finished Franglais 7.
Drawing Room
Monday 29. 07. 19 I have just spent an exciting, stimulating and fun week at the Summer School at the Elephant & Castle. What a week! Met up with some people from last year’s class and also met new friends. Lots of new experiences, new thoughts and new directions. Looking forward to seeing how all this will affect my new work.
Franglais
Friday 05. 06. 19 Introduced Beatrice to the class and also donated a bottle of Ice Wine which I had brought from TO.This went down well and helped us all with our fluencies!!!
High Street Whitton
Tuesday 02. 07. 19 Back to working on this one.
39 Hazel Close
Monday 03. 06. 19 Started on a new project today painting contemporary Whitton, comparing it with the days of my childhood. The photo shows the house as it was then and the painting, which is still a work in progress, is as it is now. Quelle différence!
Belarg’arts
Sunday 02. 06 19 Yesterday spent the day at a printmaking workshop in Belarga. We worked on doing dry point engravings on tetrapak packaging. Very stimulating and convivial. It was an all-day workshop with lunch. The only downside I could see was that one is restricted by the size of the the tetrapak altho there maybe larger boxes around. Did my Franglais piece – not a great meeting this week for some reason.
Whitton to Chiswick
Friday 24. 05 19 This is a drawing of a train journey that I did to school every day in the 50s.
