I have finished a new painting this week and two large abstracts are waiting resolution in the studio. I am also sorting through a staggering number of folders of artwork, exercises and tasks from the Open College of the Arts courses I completed some years ago now. Most of the folders have not been opened for years so I have been ruthless throwing away things that are not useful or have not been looked at in an age. The heaps of work on the floor look quite interesting and i have saved a few pieces that mean something or might be a useful reference.


On the easel are the pieces saved, sketch of Hinton Ampner, dead pigeon. ink drawing, sketch of local church, allotments and an urn of geraniums.
