Lingfield Point Art Project & The Festival of Thrift

I've been working on a 3 month artist residency at Lingfield Point, Darlington supported by Navigator North.
 
I was asked to do an exhibition at The Festival of Thrift which is on 21st & 22nd of September at Lingfield Point where I will be exhibiting paintings but also show the work that I've been working on as part of the artist residency project.

This is my studio at Lingfield Point.
A photo taken through the studio door window of me talking to Vicky from Navigator North.

Festival of Thrift in September.

The 3 month residency project is called The Beehive Ballroom.
I have a blog about the project which you can find
HERE
The exhibition will be in the 'Studios' building on Lingfield Point & I will also be doing a talk about my work on the Saturday at 3pm!

Don't forget the exhibition will take place at the 
Festival of Thrift at Lingfield Point 
on Saturday 21st of September & Sunday 22nd of September.

Oak Book Paintings

Over the last month I've been working on some book paintings which are painted on
oak blocks.

 Each block is about 6" x 10" and an 1½" deep.

The back covers look like this ........

Old Studio


 Finally emptied my old studio & handed the keys back last week .... It should have been emptied about 3 months ago but I just couldn't face it .... I'm a studio hoarder with a large collection of unusable brushes, scraps of canvas paper and board that are two small to use along with paint tubes with only half a squeeze left if I spend an hour or so trying to get it out!!!

Robert Rauschenberg


 'You can't make either life or art, you have to work in the hole in between, which is undefined. That's what makes the adventure of painting.' 
 Robert Rauschenberg, pictured here in his studio with his 'Combine', Monogram (1955-1959)

 Im a huge fan of Robert Rauschenberg ... check out his work
