Hello Everyone!
Well, here I am, sitting in my spangly new studio...without the first clue what to do next. My shelves are lined with jam jars filled with brushes, pots of paints and endless possibilities all within easy grabbing distance, the late afternoon sun is shining through a smear free window onto my new white desk which is clear and ready for whatever project I embark upon next, the floor is spotless, the sink gleams...it all looks rather neat and tidy.
My mind on the other hand is a butterfly house of fluttering ideas and the pocket notebook I carry around with me most of the time in order to jot down things I’d like to do as they occur to me has become rather overworked and crowded recently. I’ve got so many lovely things to be getting on with, I just can’t decide what it is that I want to do first. 
Whatever I decide upon, I’m determined that it will be the first step towards getting this beautiful new studio a little ragged around the edges. I really hope that this time next year, I’ll be sitting in my not so spangly studio, my shelves a little less organised but still lined with endless possibilities, the afternoon sunlight shining through a window I have been too busy to clean onto a desk covered with paint spills and ideas, 3 projects on the go and a new note book as full as the first...without a clue what to do next.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Even the room you have created is wonderful! I eagerly anticipate stories of your ventures in this creative space of yours. I have just had a lovely 10 mins looking through the albums of your work. I know of this side of you, and have seen bits and bobs of your work over the years, but it has given me much more of an impression of your talent, creativity, take on the world and more firmly placed the idea of 'artist' into my own personal perception of you. I so look fwd to reading and seeing more from you here. P.S. Is Eloise's picture in the mixed-media album? ;0)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tara. If my work expresses to friends I've known for a long time something new about me I've not yet revealed about myself over the years then that is wonderful...and in answer to your question, Eloise's work is not yet available for viewing here, (her last piece was quicky bought by her very proud father) but I'm sure it will not be long before she produces another masterpiece & reminds me again that what I do is neither big nor clever.
