A day of bustling activity

Definitely ready to make a mess this morning......, graphite, white spirit, the beautiful, beautiful Fabriano paper( I'm almost scared to touch it), a needle and thread and obviously a pilot 0.2. Cannot wait to get started on this new piece & series.
Exploring Betula canopies, the variations and progressions as the seasons pass, starting with November, just those few leaves clinging on with hope of low sun stretching out the sun before the bleak of December and its harsh frosts.

Also have a little bit of selecting to do, exhibiting as part of a group exhibition at a local gallery in Terrington, North Yorkshire. 'Nah Then', features a selection of North Yorkshire based artists inspired by their surroundings...must decide which peices to send through. Enough nattering, more coffee and best get pen to paper.

looking up

Its February 2013....this has definitely been too long, but I am finally sat down with a cup of coffee, my sketchbooks and a journal, determined to make some headway and organization. Studio-less...Yes, but no excuses. I'm ready to get back to work, time to get lost in my work again.

Canopies, what lies overhead, the voids between, there is still so much exploration in looking up. Pattern, texture, print. Though the trees are bare, skeletons, lighter nights call of spring and budding hope. Think I might have to wrap up warm and take a walk this morning armed with a paper, pencils and some gloves.  

Autumnal Fever, Inspiring new job and Canopies

So the wedding and all those shinnanigans the last few months, to a beautiful honeymoon in the Cairngorms national park. An array of stunning scenery, the mountains, the colours and textures, crags, heather and trees bursting with jewel drop leaves, throw in a log burner and a little dram!!!Perfection.

To a new home, currently lacking a studio and a new name....Mrs Wright...from now on always, excuse the punn. To a very exciting new job, working for @thenurseries, R.V.Rodger, visual displays, inspiring the audience and making some beautiful installations.

Despite lacking a studio, very disappointing  for a first time in a long time have been out with my boots and armed with a camera, capturing some canopies, I love autumn, possibly my favouriteseason and managed to get just  the last glimpses of the rich auburn tones the last few leaves clinging. Ideas for more devlopment on the series of conopy mixed medias. I'm thinking the watercolours, texture, some Ink and some stitching. Cannot wait to get started.

Itching to get back..

Realization that the last post on here was in 2011, not brilliant, but i have been rather busy...around 8 weeks till i marry Mr Wright (not original but true). 

Cannot wait to get back into the studio and get on with some new work, getting the website finally finished and exhibiting. Also moving studio's, not at all hectic!! 

But, definitely ready to get lost in it all......

Exhibition at the goose and the moose.

A new exhibition, previewing on the 4th of November, 6-9....mulled wine and a fire too warm your socks if you need a little enticement.
The goose and the moose is a lovely new little gallery in Malton which opened at the beginning of this month.
I have been working on quite a few new pieces ready for the exhibition.
Also there is a preview to the Pannett Winter Open this evening, I am exhibiting two pieces of work and its a lovely gallery, worth a visit, theres always the hope of fish and chips after.

.....finally.

got down to some mess and started a fresh new piece of work today....emulsion, masking tape and charcoal. Speciman, Betula as usual, but new media and had to drag myself away from the studio. 

Also date for the preview at the Goose and the Moose set, November 4th.

Productive day, oh and four new peices taken up to the coast gallery this afternoon...on a roll.

Exploration of trees, their forms, resonance and voids, invoking marks.

Work is underway, 12 images, ready and framed. Task ahead this morning a huge peice of paper, beautiful fabriano paper it may be, but still starting a new peice this morning. The countdown is on, 15 days until the preview of North Yorkshire Open Studios. Invitations to be finished and sent out by this afernoon.
Coffee is a must.
