A close up of my new big work... it’s a triptych

A close up of my new big work... it’s a triptych - 3 x 75cm x 50cm. I’ve had these canvases since 2007... they were part of the exhibition from that year. The original work was a body mapping of my exhibition partner, exploring the health challenge she’d been through the previous year. Clearing out my studio the other day, I thought it was time to transform them. This is just the early stages. I have been using a 2” house painting brush. It’s satisfyingly good at getting paint on to the canvas. Can’t wait to get back to it tomorrow.

Sunday in the studio... lots of cleaning, tidying

Sunday in the studio... lots of cleaning, tidying and sorting... then some #collage play... Love the humble brown paper bag and recycled newsprint as a key accent.

Work-in-progress studio shot. I have 3 new canvases like this - 50cm x 50cm - underway. . So I have finished 28 works since January. I also have about 8 canvases in varying stages of completion... I love the feeling of excitement as a work comes to life. Sometimes, it reminds me of the process of watching film develop in the chemical bath. My job is to witness the painting as it comes forth from the canvas! . Being an artist brings so much joy.
