Over the past few days it has dawned on me that given I shall be away for the next fortnight I am getting perilously close to the beginning of end of this project. On my outline plan...a line here and there on my diary...I am scheduled to complete the photography about now - and the paintings by 24th May. Twenty seven potential working days away! I have now shot many pictures (and have but three locations to complete) and just this week have made a painting (shown here) in a single session. There are now some 60 canvases in train of which some seven are printed digital collages - I expect at the most that three more painted canvases will be added to this group and perhaps five more digital collages created. From the sixty eight works the 45 will emerge. I am now moving a fair way from the original impulses...this work, for instance, draws on a observation made in a local museum...but concerning a quite separate location within the district.
