It's that Beckett moment... yesterday I revised four paintings, discarded one and let three be. The addition of copious amounts of Liquin should ensure they dry sufficiently to be transported from the studio to the gallery next Monday morning. Some fifty seven canvases will be pared down to the forty five that will make up the body of substantive work. I am awaiting delivery of the forty five postcards that will be the bigger part of the 'backroom' and of the three racks on which - appropriately I think - they will be displayed. In addition there may be two or three other minor 'surprises'. The studio has a fresh, mildly Scandinavian air to it now...three larger canvases sit on the walls - part of the series of 'Conversation' pieces that started two year or so back and will probably continue for another year or so. For the moment these have given me, as of yesterday afternoon, a strong sense of release...
