Head Candy-Giving the finger to days gone by

It would be all too easy, to say that the weekend ended as it began-RAW.
I've damaged two fingers on my right hand, trimming hedges, which is ironic if I tell you that after the debacle that was Friday, I'd made a decision to start cutting back on some of the excesses in my life.

I'm lucky I didn't sever my digits completely-the hedge trimmer sliced so deeply to the bone, that the tips were hanging from my fingers.
I've been sewn back together like Frankenstein, but the pain and possible damage to my nerve endings mean I may be out of action for a week or so.

Its ghastly, but I'm thankful that it wasn't worse.
Friday-on the other hand-is a far uglier tale, and one which I will tell, once I've finished typing it with one finger.

Notes from an Easel- Ghost Rider

I discovered this morning that RAW is featuring my art on their home page this week, which is accompanied by an interview. I tried to keep it frothy-it gets tougher to answer 'where do get your inspiration?' without sounding like a scratched record.

RAW Featured Artist Interview


Barely any air flow through the studio today, so I'm feeling dizzy on the turpentine,or it could be my enthusiasm for the 'Ghost' piece which is almost complete. I'll be premiering it at the RAW show this Friday.


I'm also showcasing the other two smaller Ghost studies I produced in May.
I was so dreadfully disheartened by the lack of bids on EBay for these,so I'm really rather hoping they'll find a more discerning audience at exhibit.
