Welcome to my lounge

(In this article – news from Spit’n'Scrub open studios weekend, an invitation to the next event and a COMPETITION to win three of my prints, read on please…)

I could have said “Welcome to my lounge!” during the Private View evening for Our Spit’n'Scrub Open Weekend Event. I had  no large neon light to kill the mood, quite the contrary, slightly yellow shades of light flooded the space, with gentle moody music playing in the backround. I was serving fizzy wine and had groovy snacks to offer my guests in addition to food and drinks on the upper level of our building, where more studios are located.

So If you like the sound of it, or you missed Spit’n'Scrub for whatever reason, you can come back! There will be another Open Day Event, this time organized by Artist Studio Company which provides the spaces for artists across eleven buildings. Our Privite View in Empson, where my studio is, will be on Wednesday evening, 13th October. I’ll be pretty much doing the same ‘Welcome to my lounge ‘ mood but I’ll have a competition running as well: two lucky visitors that leave some feedback in my book and their contact details have a chance to win a print each of my ‘Transition, 2005′. I allow visitors to take photographs during this event providing that if the photos are used in the press or anywhere else, my name and website are referred to. I welcome any of the images taken to be emailed to me, and again I will choose the best one for a small present, the last print of my ‘Transition’ 2005.

Do join us for the night!

‘New Golden Seed Painting’ Updates.

26.8 – I’ve started this painting a few days ago and It’s turning out to be quite a fight. One day it feels like I’m overthinking it, next day I take it mad, and splash out. hehe Let’s see what happens later on today. Hopefully I’ll find that ‘golden’ balance.

27.8 – Well, today The ‘Golden Seed’ became not so golden. I feel like I over-fought it. And I’m questioning if I’d be able to fix it. Learning lessons every day!

30.08.2010- Today I’ve painted the wall behind the painting, and changed the direction it’s been hanging. I feel that it’s finally doing what I wanted. Have I tamed the monster? You tell me?..hehe I’m having issues to photograph it actually. I may need to ask a professional to help me out.

1.9.2010-  I just made it into my studio today, no nothing serious, just one of those days when one prefers to stay at home and do nothing. Anyway, I raised my mood by injecting a bit more colour into the painting. A few red spots have added some vibrancy to it. I try my best to photograph it as best as I can, however I wish you could see it life! AHH, you can! Check out this link.
