It’s a new year and as the last post stated, no resolutions just keep doing what I have been.
So, January 2nd I had planned to be open for the morning before an electrician came to fit a new meter for landlords. He came at the start of the day so I took the day off as no space to work or electricity for lights either.
Since then I have opened normal days (well Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at least) until now – Tuesday and Wednesday this week – germs caught up with me that I have been fighting off throughout December.
Flooding Swanage with Art additional panels
On those 3 days I have completed the new Sailing panel to be included at Monkey beach now that the blocks have all been turned around. I have also completed the new Rowing panel on Saturday morning.
Pleased with this progress, then on Saturday afternoon I was joined by J from AllSort’d and we started the two new panels that will show what the now scratched (Storm Ciaran) panel showed originally. We put in a joint four hours on Saturday and with the use of my Posca Mop’R 22k paint applicator we progressed to this stage (photos below show progress with both panels).
… and this was where we were going to continue today plus one of the other artists – but I am unwell.
To be continued and posted about.
Wednesday lunchtimes
Usually I have lunch from The Loft Community Centre on a Wednesday but collect and bring it to the studio to keep working . I have decided that for the next couple of months except half term I am taking an hour lunch break and eating up in The Loft and chatting with others at lunch as well.
A note will be posted on the shop door to say where I am.
A very creative start to 2024.
My Purbeck Arts Weeks 2024 entry has gone in already and Iwill be developing new pieces for this event in May / June once I have completed these panels for the ‘Flooding Swanage with Art Trail’.
Today while at home I have added more of my 2018 card designs to the page on this website which will eventually display and tell you more about all of my cards that I have had printed to sell as part of AndyKnillArt since 2017. Once the card portfolio is complete I will go onto prints and then original works sections too. I have never got to the point of posting all of the art that I have produced. It is hard work catching up after almost 7 years (31st January 2024) but this time I am going to sticker the task until it is done and hopefully before the 8th birthday. That seems a silly statement but there are about 500 original pieces that I have drawn!!
