power cuts, bad weather and 11 different slices of art maker...


Art Fair has been and gone, all kinds of things happened, organised, Organ-ised... Power cuts, storms, people, eleven artists coming together and feeding off each other in a positive way. Once it was all on the walls and we could see it all properly it all looked excellent (even if I do say so myself), quite a buzz to see it all there and to know we pulled it all together - lots of effort, lots of work, busy opening night. work sold, work traded, eleven slightly different ideas on how to go about the art of making and presenting art. The weekend wasn't without a problem or two, not sure I want all my time and energy sucked up running a gallery space right now, really ate up my art making time and well... time to get the solo show together, hanging it tonight and opeing tomorrow, been painting up a storm, spaying up a storm.... photos of it all up soon... and more words... no time today...

That piece up there is another that emerged yesterday, well it has been emerging over the last couple of weeks... no more spraying on it today, need to let all the new pieces or the evolving pieces dry out in the wind or we're going to have the gallery and cafe engulfed in the sweet smell of Montana Gold paint...

All out of found canvas now, found another one last week... and I do rather like that people are now bringing their unfinshed of 'failed' pieces to me... "paint on this, cover it all up so only you and I know what's there underneath, validate the art" she said...
