Here goes - I’m going to be creating a new body of work with an exhibition in mind and for the first time , instead of just winging it - I have a plan .

Each week I will be working on multiple canvases on groups. For the first 2 weeks I’ll work on 6 canvases plus a large diptych.. After two weeks I’ll pack them away and start on the next group for 2 weeks. After doing this for a couple of months I’ll return to them and work on them again. I’m hoping that as I work and come back to paintings I’ll be able to incorporate discoveries and there’ll be a cohesiveness coming from working on them all in this time period. I felt overwhelmed thinking of how many paintings I needed to prepare and so by dividing into groups I think it will be more manageable. I’m going to write about my progress as I go and will share some of the making with my email list. I’m feeling very excited about all the possibilities of a blank canvas .
