A wet start to the day, well admittedly very early it was wet but deer and hares were out to play. Well, it felt really quiet at times even in the number of walkers passing. 21 visitors in total. Some who had been last year,some who were just passing. The disappointment was that we had …
Well I woke up thinking studio thoughts and was in there sorting at 6am for a couple of hours. The studio is ready, a few surfaces to tidy, oh and some labelling but essentially ready. No photos today – come and see for yourself. A quiet day with the boats but a fe customers and …
So, Thursday. Not a work day, my big free day to get the studio ready or almost or whatever I get to tbh. 8 pictures up and a realisation that I have so much art where can I put it all. Today was a day inspired by invention – two new hanging systems used based …
So,a day on duty at the Purbeck Artisan Yard, Church Street,Wareham – OpenStudio. 45 for PAW and second venue outside my own studio where work can be seen. I removed several pieces last week and today reorganised the bay and added some pieces that are more relevant to a Wareham site. My duty was generally …
A work day at the boats, but a later start because of the tide allowed me to hang two larger 20″ by 16″ pieces. I then hung some more pieces and realised I will have to use two browsers, one for originals and one for prints as I have more work than wall space – …
A busy busy day. Planned first task go to Rollington, but found object in car tyre, so Rollington via Swanage Tyres. All handed in ok and good to see more people that I know and recognise in my second year. Then off to drop mower off for service and fixing so during PAW I can …
Sunday – a working day for my boat hand job. We were busy at times and steady at others but I did a lot of work which caught up later. On arrival home it was time to check my pieces for submission and display at Rollington Barn – the central exhibition area for Purbeck Art …
A week to go. So I was meant to head out early this morning for some errands, slept in after being awake at 5. Into Swanage where I took photographs of the sea mist and kayak fishermen out in the bay. Also Open rowing at Swanage Sea Rowing Club where I completed my errand. I …
Well, yesterday after a bit of a delay I started the framing process. I quickly got into a routine of measuring mounts against frame backboards and trimming as required. Then my shopping for D rings, screws and picture cord meant that all frames could have a better hanging solution. I framed 9 pieces at 16″ …
So, a non work day I.e. not on shift with boats or at the artisan yard. What lies ahead for today’s plan? Share completed water brush piece from yesterday. This is for me as a practicing technique piece. “Racing Turn” I admit may be framed as a PAW piece. So, I have a studio. It …
