Work on the show still happening and life in general

I spend each day painting painting painting. It's slow at the factory at the moment, winter - not many people buying ice creams! Which is good for me, I can clock up some kilometres with the paintbrush.

In regards to the show, at present I have four smaller paintings on the go, and two larger ones.

The four smaller paintings, for the show in August, were inspired by driving. The factory is an hour away, and I work afternoon shifts, so I spend alot of time driving, which I call my 'thinking' time, though on the way to work is more my bad attempt at singing time, the drive in the dark more for my thoughts.

And three of these paintings were inspired on the road in 2008, where I did quick paintings of them and sold them under an alias, and now return to do them a decent size and to do them justice. They fall in the surreal category I guess, and as you probably guessed it, the road is the main object in them. That and road signage! I've just kind of twisted them to fit my mental rationale at the time.

The fourth one, though featuring the road, goes away from mental thought turning towards global moral, I guess though I wanted to do a fourth one with the road, I was more influenced by the BP oil leak. So no road signs in this one! But there is a fat lady singing ;)
