Since the studio at the post office is bursting at the seams, my home studio is also being put into use.

The studio seems to be shrinking… I like to work on more than one piece at a time, but that’s becoming more and more difficult.

Three of the portrait panels that are presently being worked on.

On the whole my filing system seems to work pretty well, but it can be problematic occasionally -  where did I put that phone.  Can somebody ring me!

I know its in here somewhere.

If only I could maintain this level of productivity I would be laughing.

Getting there…

I do like Mondays, the theory is that nobody is supposed to disturb me, leaving me to get on with the work, and today that actually happened.  I spent all day in glorious peace and got so much done because of it.  It was great.

All the various elements are now in this painting, it just has to be brought up to scratch.

The studio has been rearranged to take in the large Jull Street Map painting and both the traveling canvases. It’s time to rank things up and start integrating the work as a whole for the forthcoming exhibition – it’s easier to do this if all the work is together.  Besides which,  when I come into studio each day, it is almost impossible not to want to pick up a paintbrush and get stuck in.

The traveling canvases will remain in the studio from now on.

Sorry if you are noticing the lack of activity at the post office these days. In order to meet the deadline for the upcoming exhibition  I need to put a concentrated effort into the painting side of the project.  For this I need the peace and quite of my home studio (albeit a little cramped in comparison), but it does provide little or no interruption.

I know its a bit messy but it works for me.
