On my workbench..

I've been getting some work done... Hurrah!

Painting, not printing.. It makes a nice change..

It is almost time for Open Studio's, I can't believe a year has passed so quickly.. I'll post a link at the bottom of this page if you want to look at the brochure, do come and visit if you can.

'Forbidden fruit'

You might need to click on the picture to get a good look.  My temptress's hair changes into a serpent.. Take a look at the fish below, not all are friendly and from high someone is showing my sailor a beautiful red apple. What will he choose? .....That naughty girl has such a look in her eye...

On my work bench this week...

 

After my visit last week to see the 'rood screen' in St Edmund's church, Southwold, last week I am inspired.  I hadn't realized how medieval artists had subconsciously influenced my work for years...... And years!  Without me giving it a second thought!  Why hadn't I seen it?  To tell you the truth, I couldn't see wood from trees, even if I bumped into it.. 

So after the penny dropping, clang!  And thought processes now coming together, I am painting  a five paneled 'rood screen' of my own, very rough at the moment but it has potential, the mermaid is a little odd and the designs are a little rough but I feel excited by it, I feel some lino prints coming on next or maybe a collagraph print or two.

On Monday, a walk along the river.. Not my normal photo's of mud, I just couldn't resist this beauty..
