Apologies once again, to
those of an easily offended disposition, for the mildly obscene imagery
included in my current painting work. I
hope that, as explained in my previous post on the subject, it’s artistically
justified in the larger context of the ‘Belgrave
Gate: Cave Wall’ pieces and the source imagery that feeds them.

My recent progress seems as
painfully slow as it’s been all year but, thankfully, there has been no
diminution in enthusiasm for the ideas I’m engaged with. Anyway, the blessed school holidays are
finally upon us and, after fulfilling a brief prior commitment, there’s nothing
left to stop me getting properly stuck in again for the next five weeks.

Today was the first proper
full painting day of summer and I’ve already polished off these two studies that have
been hanging around in a partially completed state for too long. I intend to produce a series of these in
parallel with the medium sized panels to which they relate. Two of those are well under way and I’ll
embark on a third in the next few hours.

Put that way, things don’t
sound quite so sluggish. It’s always
been my intention that the studies should feed into the actual paintings as they evolve to explore possible approaches more organically. With more time available to me, I hope this procedure will start to justify itself more obviously in real time.
