of course gentrification can't actually kill creativity, you just stay one step ahead of it. I hadn't forgotten I had a blog, just took a step back from the internet for the winter while I paint away in our new bunker studio and new green shoots break the surface. Lots of painting, lots of canvas finding and recycling, things ready to leave on the street once more. Amusing to find that the same property pimp estate agents who helped push us out last year are using my art and the shows we put on last year as a selling point for the area that we can no longer afford to live in. Right there all over their website, have to smile at that one. No, gentrification can't kill creativity, the winter has been a productive positive one, surrounded by new work, happy in new surroundings, eating hot buttered toast and about to get on with these layers of daffodils that are threatening to shows their faces any day now... Time to blog a bit, like those daffodils, I'm ready to emerge for the spring...
Now then, all you artists who's work we had the pleasure of hanging on walls and showing in shows last year. what do you have coming up? Be nice to see these invites to join in were working in both directions...
