Return from the dead!

I've been a very bad blogger these last few months. My catch up classes came to an abrupt end, after I let frustration get the better of me. Painting with "the claw" proved pretty uncomfortable to begin with, a real pain in the bum. There are at least three incomplete studies, still littering the drying racks of Heatherley's - testament to my loss of faith!. Months on, I'm pleased to report that my beloved right hand feels much less alien, and that my desire to paint has been rekindled. After two weeks work experience at a TV production company (I'm trying to make waves in the world of broadcasting, little as those waves may be right now), my creativity feels stimulated in new and exciting ways. Have had an interesting idea for a painting - inspired by memories of home life, and the concept of the 'vignette' (something I discussed with George a while ago). Will have to get cracking with some sketches. Am thinking gouache might suit...
