Musical Creativities in Practice
New Work from Shop Studio Project
Self Portrait in a Hospital Bed, 2012
Painted as part of the first Bedford Creative Arts mini-commission, the painting depicts me after waking up from facial surgery that followed an unprovoked attack in the street by two youths with a knuckleduster in 2009
Shop Studio
My Bedford Creative Arts mini-commission, Shop Studio, happens this weekend, 18-19th February.
I'll be in the former Millets unit in Church Arcade, Bedford town centre working on a series of pictures including a self portrait based on photographic sources. Come down, ask me questions, and see how I build up my work.
The picture above is a painting based on a photo taken from a poetry blog that had a specific meaning at that time. It's an example of the kind of personal/historical images that fascinate me, and will be working with over the weekend.

Darren Marsh - Scarecrows
I've put on another fantastic artist in the café Pensieri on Castle Lane, Bedford. Darren Marsh is best known for his A Portrait of Bedford exhibition at BCA Gallery a few years ago.
Check out www.darrenleemarsh.com to see more of his work. I particularly like the Santander: Summer in the Rain series a pictured below.
Skeleton Rivalry - Christian Webb
I seem to have been doing more writing than painting recently, with latest example being the foreword for Christian Webb's latest book of photography, purchasable and browsable on Blurb.com. Look out for another couple of articles in the February edition of the Bedford Clanger too.

Paintings by Chris Lock
The paintings were inspired by a short stretch of coastline in South Devon; between Blackpool Sands and Torcross. Chris usually works on a larger scale but has produced these smaller more intimate pieces specifically for Pensieri.
Chris has had numerous solo shows and has been exhibiting and producing work for private commissions for a number of years. She was head of art at Sharnbrook Upper School from 1992 – 2010
