One step follows another...

This summer has flown by so fast. It seems time is moving

at an electric pace, its moving so fast. at any given moment there is so much happening, I wonder if this detail impacts time, I think it does. In the studio today some great sounds pervading the atmosphere.Thought I would share the mood of the moment.



Working some thumbnail sketches and getting ready to paint. Struggling with the shipping part of the site....this is the last major detail before I go public. Everything seems so staggeringly complicated....I think it will take me a year to achieve anything on this site as there are so many integrations and then I still want to vlog outside of the journal I have here.....I guess it's a case of one step at a time.

The web site and the vision to create something tangible from my work has robbed me of a lot of studio easel time, and then there is still the very necessary time where you wake up, take the dogs for a walk and plan your day....that freedom is not so accessible as I need to work at this in a committed way with a committed attitude so when i'm struggling with a technicality I simply have to do the research, watch the videos, rewire my brain so I can make this work. I really struggle to manage time....Im either consumed by a project or running free, there seems to be no in-between


Meanwhile must go out now, the dogs have their needs, a walk and I have mine a roll around in summers golden sun rays, let it splash over me, feel its warmth and today albeit sunny is cooler albeit still warm outside still, so perfect, not too hot.


I plan to do a series using Gaugin colour techniques,

I love the way he works, his colour palettes and shapes, Im thinking about this a lot lately.

There is so much to feel alive about.

politics is the one thing bringing me down though, the news is so seriously messed up daily and it seems to only get worse. that's why managing ones mind and what we do and listen to is so important.


This painting was full of challenges for me I'm not sure it will ever be completed in my mind. It has landed here for now and here it will stay.
