People watching at kings cross, originally uploaded by gilfling. Dear blog/blog readers I wish you had been here with me last week. I had a wonderful time with my dad in London. He got the train down from Edinburgh and I got the coach from Nottingham. We walked till our legs and feet ached and [...]

Getting there …., originally uploaded by gilfling. Well that would be the dream now wouldn’t it? But today I have not managed to pick up a paintbrush as unfortunately when you are a self-employed artist there are so many other jobs that need to be done. Today has been a day of applications and as always I [...]

Inspiration…, originally uploaded by gilfling. Just a real quickie post today as it is my day for working my part-time job so time is short. But I just thought I would show you a photograph I took of my painting board. At the top you can see print outs of some photographs I took a [...]
A good days work

A good days work, originally uploaded by gilfling. Hello! I have not had time to post all the stages of this painting so thought I would show a few snippets and then do a summarised post once finished with all the images – possibly a flickr mosaic I think. This was how it looked last [...]
On my easel….

Messy lines, originally uploaded by gilfling. Today is a studio day and this makes me very happy. I love those work days when if I so wished I could roll out of bed at eight and be at work by ten past…. although I do tend to stop off for breakfast first. Still, it is [...]

So this is the last of 3 posts about my most recent painting – you can find post I and II here and here. This is the last image I showed you… Now I know from experience that every time I start a painting I have the idea that it will be all in acrylics with [...]
Process of a painting II

So after my post yesterday the journey of this painting continues – and this is the post where it all went a bit wrong! I had probably put about 10 hours into the painting by this point and although I like my figures to look awkward, I just could not get it out of my [...]

So, my biggest promise to myself for 2012 was that I will dedicate more time to my painting. Many things got in the way last year and I only really finished 3 paintings and a selection of pencil drawings, although I kept to my daily sketches for a few months. Last week I finished my first [...]

My inspiration, originally uploaded by gilfling. This is a terribly dark and gloomy and out of focus photo (taken at night)…. but this is what I am working on right now. After really focussing a lot last year on my character sculptures and hardly painting at all (I think I did perhaps 3 paintings all last [...]
All framed up…..
Posted in Artwork, original artwork, Paintings, Seek and Adore on July 7, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Just a quickie post as I am sculpting, sculpting away and trying to stay clear of the distraction of the internet as much as possible in order to meet my deadlines! It is always a thrill to see my original work framed up (and indeed my prints) and I just picked these up from the [...]
