Good morning from my sitting room. Just updating my shop before I head to the gallery for another day of painting and meeting you lovely folk.

It's close!
Gulp, so it's only a matter of weeks now and I'm still pulling all nighters and grafting away. Starting to pull things together now and straighten it out in my head but I'm sure I'm not as organised as i should be. Will be meeting the curator of the gallery this week and should hopefully start moving completed canvases soon. It's going to be exciting seeing the space fill with my work. I still have to organise publicity and a sign for outside the venue to let people know it's running.
This is one of the canvases I'm currently working on. Working title: A different dream. Apologies if this is displaying sideways, I'm posting from the studio on my phone, so it's bound to go wrong.
I'm enjoying doing these self composed paintings, as they allow me to talk about something, an idea or a concept in a way that will carry the information to the viewer, directly. This painting is about significant changes in life. It echoes work i did in my early 20's in college, and revisits a theme i started then.
Beginnings end..
Abstract night
Sometimes it's the right thing to improvise and follow your feelings, and on this occasion I did just that.

It's 03:33, I've been up for an hour and had two coffees. Good morning, someone...
Recently, found my way into a large Homewares shop in Aberdeen and came out with about 10 canvases, brushes and paint. The photo shows a work in progress on one of those canvases. It's great to find such quality material and save money buying it. Not quite rich and famous yet.
