RESSURECTION

Should there be one or two s' in that title word? Either way looks wrong to me. Anyway, I did fall out of love with the BROWN SHAWL PROJECT, in fact I started a downer on all things but quickly recognised BLACK DOG and put it firmly into the dog house, visited the studio for a couple of hours having not been there for two weeks and now the B.S.PROJECT is back on. I have crystalised and focused my thoughts on the thing and now am continuing with it and it, I KNOW, is leading into future works, and where I want to be with my ART. Im starting to feel better again, although I cant make the studio at all this week as garden fence needs treating and Thursday evening we are off for a free long weekend in glamerous BLACKPOOL. Long story.

In the studio I played around with some collage and have recycled an old canvass (no doubt in a hundred years time, when Im totally famous................stop laughing!................x-rays will reveal the two paintings beneath). This painting demonstrates how the B.S.Project is going to lead me back to my first love..............the figure. Its early days with this work and its going to take quite a while but Im not in a hurry anymore. Personal update; I think I might have broken my toe, but cant be sure. Its taken three weeks so far for the pain to die away but it is still swollen. Note to self; always wear footwear.

Blackpool is not one of my favourite resorts, but Im so looking forward to having three days away that I dont care. My sister-in-law, who had a stroke whilst we were in the cinema, has a sister who owns a small hotel in Blackpool and who has invited us to stay. She is going away,the hotel will be vacant (no paying guests) while she has a little holiday somewhere else. Apparently July is not peak time in Blackpool. Who knew? Suppose its because the lights extend the season up there. I would have loved a B&B when I was younger but it wasnt to be. Oh, Lewis , my youngest, has applied to be a contestant on The Apprentice! Fingers crossed !!!!

Well, Ive rambled on long enough now so just remember to love all and hurt none and seek peace within to bring peace without.
