‘Séance’ piece might have had its day. Setting it away for now. ‘Final Fancy Dress’ - good progress made. Tight in portrait and looser strokes in the clothing.

Alright - lazy / stupid. No ifs, no buts.

Background progress on ‘badger’ piece. ‘Séance’ has been cleansed. Just went too far. Compositionally flawed from the offset and was fighting a losing battle. Lesson learnt.

Didn’t get in. A bit annoyed but there is always next year.

Bit the bullet and took the initiative. A nice reply - now trying to not get ahead of myself.

Drew up F.W. on large canvas and some good tonal progress on ‘Gallery Visit’ today in the studio. Background more vibrant perhaps?

Trip to Derry for VOID Arts Centre opening ‘Composting for the Future’. Harking back to projects of the past yet paving a new, more collaborative direction.

‘Gallery Visit’ - few tweaks, bit more blurring and hey presto - finito!

Did not make the long-list. Ah well.

Trip to Portaferry and a slight change in plans for Sunday. Back to the studio all being well next week!
