Howdy doooooody my chums!

I know...I know...I know...it's been bleedin' ages since my last blog. Mind...I do have a good excuse...I'm having the house ripped apart and a new studio installed in the loft space. My opening has been opened and a wondrous space has been created at the top of my abode...hurrah and hurrah and a big fat thankyou to Shaun the builder for making me a place to paint in peace....
I have also come to an executive decision and...I am unanimous in this....I'm now going to blog more often and with more aplomb....always loved that word...have no idea if it's the right one but who the flop cares. Anyrode up..I digress. I am now going to treat you lovely readers to short snippets of my existance and what is occurring in my artistic bent oooer. Here goes........................
I have finally finished painting "Banquos Ghost" and it was a challenge to be sure. Mmmm...had a bleedin' nightmare trying to create a ghost out of rock...hopefully it works and the image looks suitably spooky. I wanted to create a painting full of regret and guilt...I think it has achieved a look of contemplation...I'm told it has. The painting has created a lorry load of interest....infact...I've gone global! A very very talented writer in France has fallen in love with MacBeth...along with a very very talented sexual health clinician in Scotland...oooooer...I'm well excited!
I've commenced "Puck summoning the Fog". Mmmmm...it's taken me eons and eons of staring at this image to know how I want to move forward with it. I've decided that I'm going to create the "fog" in a different way...in other words...not as fog at all...ho hum. Bare with me as the woman in labour said to the midwife...Puck will be summoning the fog but it won't be misty literal fog but a more organic fog. I apologise for all of this arty farty nonsense but it has been a week of builders and their dust...it's quite difficult to create "the art" whilst a burly builder is waving his tool at you...................

I thank you for taking the time...
