Only two working days before I have to return to UK and I am sorting out some of the work I have done this summer,, so that I can make a big parcel and post it back ready for SAW and open studios . It seems really good value via Belgian post. But it does not work the other way and Royal mail!!
.
I have just had the normal trauma with brown packing tape. You know how you can't find the end and, when you think you have, it tears and comes off in little icky strips and is just a nuisance? I realised, just now, that it dates from my last packing session here and that was two summers ago. It is time for a new roll. So until this afternoon the parcel is sitting looking like this. (two acrylic abstracts and three oil still life)
I have done a lot of drawings and paintings of fruit and veg which will go in my suitcase. Here are a few
These, above and below, are in oil on panels 20 x 20 cm
these are watercolour and pencil, watercolour, and mixed media
I have also done many drawings and the odd painting (very odd!) of myself. I have never before been into self portraits and it is worrying. I look a bit scary? Is the world ready for this. maybe i shall be braver tomorrow!
I am really looking forward to Art week, so much to do yet.
Bridgwater potter Lesley Cooper is sharing with me which will be great. Come and see us!
