quick catch up

No pictures with this blog, trying to keep the next ones a little close to my chest so, some mental thoughts toward the future.

With Emma from McMillans Consultancy in Newcastle now looking after some of the affairs on the Business and Baltic side of life it gives me more time and opportunity, notwithstanding a freeing up of the brain, to work on my own paintwork and that for the next exhibition, a lucky breeze blew me into contact with someone who has exhibition space available, although it is one of the local art bars for an exhibition I am fortunate to have it as an ad hoc venue, that is, as and when I have a body of new work to show I want to keep that venue for the start of Emmas Time Line plan for the 5 years leading to 2014.

I have the painful and daunting task now of searching out an accountant, finding one is easy but finding one who shares similar ethics and practice as I and Emma, they are never easy people to deal with particularly when one doesn't speak money language however, faith in a guiding and omnipotent force will for sure help me along in the right direction.

More close to home and moving swiftly away from the business side of life, I find more and more that the studio that I am working in has such a wonderful 'Ginnel' feel about it that if I were not an artist before I came here I would have started to learn.

So? why no pictures? The work is flowing and progressive allowing many aspects of my innermost self to show through; perhaps not the most darkest or brightest or even most intimate, not yet any way, that I intentionally hold back for the occasion that has yet to manifest, it is, as am I, for the future.
