It’s been good getting out the house and seeing some more of the local artists in North London, bumping into the artist that paints the chewing gum on Muswell Hill Broadway, visiting one of the other local expressionist painters at the Crouch End Open studios, and planning with Emma Pugmire our application for Islington Rowan Arts. It’s put some enthusiasm to getting more done, back to painting mainly, as been doing mostly drawing and block prints the last couple of months. Being ill, was drawing mainly because painting seemed too much, getting out all the equipment out. Could just about handle taking the lid off a pen. Both Shelley and I feel better now, I ‘ve been painting carnival, circus looking paintings for some reason, maybe all these local art festivals going on.
Now we have the online shop not been keeping things up to date, losing track of work and photos a while ago, but especially recently will illness and lots of  small fast ones. A lot of it inspired by the sketches in the Bern and Christies auction catalogues. Also from Gerard Garouste book from the same shop. Below is two new acrylic paintings, mountain reader and shoulder puppets.
