So I've been working on other things at Tullycavan. It has been intense. On Tuesday I got to the studio and these are small paintings, Alekos, Aleksi, Alessio, Alexia, that are part way through. Shapes and colour to come. A sadness to some.
It has been awhile since I've been able to get to the studio to paint and I won't really be able to for awhile to come, but I had to clean up the paint from kid's club so I took the opportunity to be deliberate in my using the paint. They have bits I like. It's not a direction I intend to follow.
Something observational for an exhibition coming up in August at the Station Gallery in Yarragon. So far the painting has done things in the general direction I'd hoped for.
Ahnika has been quietly waiting while I worked through some other ideas in other paintings and now I think that there might be another long wait. I love the way that the light plays with the white over black around the warmish ground. So I'll have wait awhile before my next mark.
