To try to nurture improved productivity levels in the Turret (
stop me, oh, oh, oh, stop me: stop me if you think that you've heard this one before) i have instigated Painting Club. Painting Club runs between 3 and 5pm every day during the colder months which gives me ample faffing on the internet time (also getting dressed etc) and ends in good time to break off for Park Club and Shopping Club leading to Doggy Teatime. And mine too.

| At Painting Club today, i worked on the Red painting. |

In the abstract paintings department, there is a small Blue canvas and a small Yellow. Also a tissue-paper and glue, yellow work on canvas paper. I am thinking mostly in terms of the application of paint and of colour (though this is less important) and not at all about form. I am half-hoping no spheres or orbs appear though i am still easygoing with myself about this as advised to be by an art-therapist.

I'm using acrylic and oil on this, alternating paint with layers of tissue paper glued on. Multiple layers are built up creating depth much as glazing can. The paint, stroked and rubbed, catches on the wrinkles in the tissue paper to great effect.
Bobbie was keen that i kept an eye on the time.
I think this will work out much better than spending 8 hours on a canvas every 3 weeks, having knife-under-the-shoulder-blade pain all the next day and harassing myself for all the days in between that i don't paint. |
