As well as drawing more than usual this month I have been reading, a lot. I devoured Lady Chatterlys Loverover a weekend. This read reinforced the theme of the romantic in much of the work I have been making lately and it stretches right across the different painting projects. Always aware of it in my reading material (and while the notion of Romantic can mean different things to me at different times) I have been allowing Romance to roll around in my head unaccompanied by a self-conscious sneer...I have been able to relax a bit. And above are some of the results.

Talking of drawing, there is an interesting drawing project currently on line:
Drawing the subconsciouswhich really made me think. I have been drawing with purpose for a long time now, and I rarely sit and absently move a pencil or pen across paper and yet its a really important thing to do, its working on your drawing muscle..... So I owe thanks to Drawing The Subconscious for un-sticking me this past week or so. Have a look and submit your own drawings.....

So anyway, I am still drawing and reading and will post again soonish with, hopefully, more images.

*I know it was a lot of drawings to post. I should have advised a tea break at the half way mark. It just feels like the right thing to do at the moment...umm biscuit?*

oh, I should mention that these drawings are on  white paper, but in my badly lit house are a pain to photograph.

    Contemporary artist, mainly painting.

    I am interested in the fragments of stories that can be found in historical images. I make paintings and assemble them to create new stories of mystery, romance and drama. Hinting at the old and more recent. The Nostalgic and romantic.

    The Delicate risqué images of Victorian postcards, the circus, erotic and romantic text: Old photographs and stories, like these, allow our imaginations to tease at the edges of the scene and the long gone strangers depicted.

    I am also currently exploring romantic and erotic texts which is forming the main theme of the work on this blog
