Late Night Art Belfast
05/10/24
A dry studio day. No paint - just charcoal work and redrawing sketches and some tonal work. SOMETHING!
09/10/24
Malleable metal wire drawing?

‘Line of Sorrow’ - micro expression.
13/10/24
TAN podcast - The White Pube book “Poor Artists”
“Spare Change Study” - facial work -warmer tones in the shadows?
Mood plays an important role… not the ‘I’m not in the mood’ kind of mood. More so the downward mindset - something foreign playing over in the back of your mind and it is difficult to shake and focus on anything else.
I can and will do better. In the studio context with this guilty / downward feeling playing out today - productivity took a nosedive. Better all round if the socks get pulled up.

RUA Opening. Very pleased.

Saturday Studio. Afraid that what’s here has gone - or rather my enthusiasm towards them - has gone stale. “S.C.” has promise but it’s on the small side - too bitty for what I want to achieve. If that makes sense.

“Look! Daddy’s painting!”
This will warm my heart for a long time.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get at myself for letting certain aspects stagnate. Prioritising stupid, irrational shit over investing in practice.
F.F.A.S. - what else is there?
27/10/24
Studio clear out. Moving recent works down to shed and out of eyeline. Freeing up wall space. Re-working / Recycling / Repurposing - just generally Re- really.
Enjoyed the “A Brush with Robert Longo” podcast.
