Going well

It has been going well, 7 paintings finished, still a lot to do, I do not know how to find the necessary money for the coming months. St Leonards on sea is a poor part of the world, work is difficult to find, I really don't want to leave the studio just now. Have to go now! as my patner Jean wants to go into bexhill to shop and see the Joseph Beauys show.

Alive and well in the studio

I'm back in the studio, I've found my spirit again, drawing painting, painting portraits, copying classical heads, making constructions, Its a fun time. I had to work up in London just to pay my way, its been trying but has to be done. I've been hanging lining paper, painting walls etc everything a painter and decorator does. Spring is hear, more light in the studio more daylight hours, my friends are doing well, though my partner Jean has a sister who is very very ill, Jean is remarkable and very strong, she goes to the local hospice twice a day. I'll put he new work on my site as soon as possible.

I've gone down with a heavy cold or something, I cannot go to the studio and work, its cold cold cold so I'm about to jump into the bath a soak for awhile, self portrait is going well

fish cakes

Robin came around last night I had prepared fish cakes, Robin came with food wine and beer, but best of all he came with he's abundant personality. Lucky I am to have a comrade like him... I started a self portrait the other day it went well, it isn't bad, it has given me the strength to work on the 9 canvases started back in 2006

Caspian has finished my website, all is quiet now, the studio is looking great and nearly ready for me to start painting. I'm a bit tired just now, rushing around traking down materials, as always trying to make it all work. I'm off out tonight, going to two private views with my mate Robin Muckle, we normally have a drink or two and have a laugh. It has been a busy year......

Caspian is here today!

Caspian Graca Da Silva is here making my new website at murphyartgallery.com
because the previous one vanished and he is doing a grand job.

I'm about to start painting again after earning money doing a painting and decorating job, here in St.Leonards-on-sea, i'm eager to get started.
