Action & Painting

Last week, toward the end of the week, I hesitated about how I would set the scene for the next stage of the brass neck series.
I've made numerous sketches and feel that to continue at this stage without models is pointless, I made some efforts to turn up other studio options, to no avail. Yesterday I took a day out, the weather was lovely and I needed to run. I ran or jogged 15km in the forest and back along the Vltava, it was a glorious place to be. The colours seem to become more intense when I'm running.

I find that exercising sets off my imagination and I tend to find a whole new series of creative directions open to me when I stop. This week has been slow yet I have been filled with new ideas for projects, so to paraphrase a master, perhaps I have been working at my hardest as the ideas are the most difficult things to create.

I have, in the last few days, seen years of my work stretched out before me. Finance is the question now. Some of these projects are relatively inexpensive but time consuming. Unfortunately some of the most exciting are going to be costly.

Friday I hope to meet with the models for this current project.
