Ian had the novel idea that I should paint a brick wall for the next 3 weeks: doesn't sound particularly inspiring, I know, but it's a great exercise in colour mixing, and will force me to 'luxuriate' in the process of oil painting (I'm a bit speedy gonzalez at the moment)! I'm not going to lie to you, it was a bit of a mental slog to begin with - I felt more like a bricklayer than a soaring artiste. But once I got into it, things started coming together. It's a nice, loose start I think - hopefully it will shape up from here.
