Er-hm. Hi. Hello. Um, is this on? Ah. Right. So… art. Right.
I started a painting this week. No, seriously, I did. It wasn't exactly what I had planned, nonetheless I made art and that is to be celebrated (I'm told). Yes? Yes. Good.
Elsewhere are is out in the real world, where it ought to be.

A few days ago,
The Rock Trust's 2013 postcard exhibition opened, which has two pieces by me in it. All the proceeds from the event, which is an auction, go to the charity and with the very central location of the gallery in Edinburgh, there is no excuse for missing it. You don't want to miss seeing the only two new paintings I've finished this year (so far)!
Tomorrow night, far away across the Atlantic and over half of the North American continent,
Megan Chapman and my joint paintings will be going on show at the lovely
Boswell Mourot Fine Arts in Little Rock. The show is titled
Arkansas artists and their works, which worryingly seems to imply that I have become adopted by that arboreal state. (Eek!) I'd very much like to be there to see it, especially since some of the pieces will be having their commercial gallery debut! If you're out and about in central Arkansas this month, please stop by and let me know how it looks.
Lastly, a week from today, I will be joining Megan at the opening of our two-person show
Through time and distance at
Cross Street Arts in Greater Manchester (which is confusingly Up North, while being down south from where I live). Megan is hard at work putting the finishing touches to her new pieces, while I am going to be bringing most of my Worlds Apart series out of storage for a whole new audience! I can't wait to see how they look together. I hope to see you there!
