This month I ramble about the background of the black paintings and storm ideas - what led to the Black Paintings that will be in the "Dark" solo exhibition at McPherson Gallery in late March.

Welcome to the studio - my first ever podcast March 2008


Some of these podcasts have relevent images that can still be found at http://studiowaves.libsyn.com if you want to follow along. That hosting still stands but the account is closed so I can no longer update or add to the files.

Around the same time I'm putting the finishing touches on paintings I get the urge to start the next set.

At least a week of choosing a coastline and plotting my route comes next. Complete with booking B&Bs at appropriate mileage intervals.

So while finishing the Splash paintings I went out and cycled part of the Essex coast.

Along the way I recorded a podcast about how I "see" things - a question from one of my collectors in the USA.

YES! The podcast is back! Hoorah!

I do appreciate any feedback about this link since I'm no longer using special podcast hosting, so using my me.com account is a trial system. Let me know if you have any problems or issues! Also, if any experts know how I can still submit to iTunes (which Libsyn used to do for me automatically) please do let me know.
