I thought about making badges during the down time of my open studio today. That was the plan but when it came down to it, I wanted to paint or draw. My flowers are starting to flower and it seemed to me that it might be interesting to visitors if I was doing something that reflects my current interests. While I was working on my little egg tempera, Fiona Camp, a fellow artist and sort-of neighbour came by. She was interested in egg tempera and had even done some herself. She watched me paint, something I never really understand, but was willing to do. I was fine. I haven't finished... something to do tomorrow if it's not too busy. I was pleased that I was integrating the various strands of what I am doing: portraiture, still life, egg tempera, painting on the spot and story telling. What was also intersting about the day was that the picture I almost didn't frame was the favourite of three people. - an egg tempera of Lyra and Patrick on a cold morning. Who knew?
I'm a painter printmaker. I use egg tempera to paint portraits and still lifes; pastel for still lifes, landscape and interiors, monotype for life drawings, portraits, interiors and landscapes and fused, stitched plastic to play with colour, shape and light. I was NEAC drawing scholar and exhibit regularly in Suffolk and London. I am also a practicing mail artist.
