Well and truly back home now and into the post vacation routine of washing, cooking, cleaning and shopping. I have not yet un-packed all my Burton Agnes art gear, a slow trickle is happening but it is slow work. I did manage to get into the studio on Saturday afternoon and found I could not paint. I had no idea what to do but when I left The Artist in Residence situation I had plans of where to go on several paintings. I found myself painting with totally alien, pastel colours. I had a little more positivity yesterday but I was just using white/light colours and going over those areas to strengthen that colour.
Today I just called in the studio and spent some time studying some of the paintings and trying to think where to go next. I then worked on the computer on art related issues and listened to the Art Juice podcast. Later I took a walk down to a our local castle. An idea has been floated by someone at the local Art Club about members submitting a painting related to the castle at our next exhibition. I went to take some photographs and sketch (not much of the latter) with an idea of photo transfer onto the paint panel but it needs a lot of thinking about as I quite fancy the idea of a multilayer approach.
