Back to Work!

I’ve been away for about a month in France, staying with friends. So I suspect time for playing is over!

I feel like I painted myself to a bit of a standstill before I went away.I have lots of ideas but getting the images from my mind onto the silk is always the biggest step.

It’s never lack of ideas, it’s more about deciding which one will say what I want it to say, with the greatest impact.The last series, Crossroads was a very different process. I had in my mind a moving video. Then I would play it backwards and forwards until I could try to see and paint the single still frame that would tell part of the story and some of the conclusions.

As always God is doing a new thing and there is never a definite formula to the way I get the images or paint. I have lots of images in my mind and a few in sketch books…

But…which ones go with which verses? I shall meditate more on each verse and see where it takes me. As they say “watch this space”
