After boozy lunch yesterday I invited John and Clare Rushton to see the new paintings - been thinking about them and seeing them together, finished, decided they were OK. Hence invitation. Not a good idea... they were clearly uncertain, 'is it finished?', that sort of response. Makes no difference, I could see what they thought and that was fine, my sense of completion wasn't disturbed.
Thinking of chalices now. Historical use. etc.
But plan to do more website stuff and clean second studio - and prime 8 small canvases bought in an absent fit from GiFi on Sat - saints encore? Had to move a bunch of paintings in the garage this morning as Bobs car is ill and must stay there, along with Tristrams - stacked uncertainly in corner. Its clear to me that garage is returning to non-art use which means getting someone to help me take the work upstairs and stash it safely in the granary space. In the meantime the new work had better stay over by the studio to dry. Bummer, always a pleasure to get shot of it.
