On 26 October 2017 I posted this commitment to end ‘dabbling’ and work towards creating a ‘substantive’ body of work. Over the next few days I’ll update you on my progress. Today, in part 1, here’s a gallery of selected work from the last 1000 days including, at the end, some earlier work as reference for influences on this body of work.

Thanks Anita! Yes, I’m pretty pleased with the conceptual development but am working on getting my studio space more conducive to immersion in painting media which I want to focus on for the next little while. Haha do you have any posts with tips for organising spaces?

With my small supply stash, I don’t have much opportunity to organize, lol… Compared to me, you might find that studio organization videos on Youtube are much better inspiration for ideas! 🙂

Thanks, yeah I have a lot of stuff! I’ve looked at images but not videos so will do. I think I’ve done about the best I can do in the space but the test will be working in there!
