St George's Circus

That almost came out as "St George's Citrus", which was maybe my subconscious trying to comment on the palette used in this one.  Not 100% finished, I don't think, but it's at a stage where I don't mind showing this one : )

Still trying to do my multiple paintings at a time thing, so I always have something dry to work on, but due to trying to do a couple of them on site, my workflow ends up being very weather dependant.  Which is not ideal.  Will hopefully finish them off though!

Still loads of pieces to finish, and a few new ones to paint!  Think I'm going to try and do a couple from photos next, to alleviate that weather issue, and also just to mix things up a bit cos I'm like that.  This one was started at about 4:30 in the morning, on site, but finished off in the studio mainly from memory and imagination.  That building on the left (yes, yes, the part that probably needs the most work at this point... ) is my studio : )  It's great, I share with two lovely people and we have a huge north facing window (so the side that you can't see in the pic) although it does tend to get rather warm...

Also been thinking about my artist statement a bit more.  Turns out it's really quite difficult to come up with something that isn't horribly pretentious.  But then, I've never claimed to not be pretentious (that may also be a lie)
