This is a huge leap of faith for me.  I have never kept a diary for longer than 24 hours, can't even guarantee posting on social media on a regular basis, but here goes.....

I am setting up to do two series of paintings based around my home and loosely using the idea of the Stations of the Cross and Ecclesiasts 3:1 as a starting point.  I have absolutely no intention of creating  religious images - I plan to photograph, draw and paint from specific locations regularly each month for the next year - to see the changing season, shifting light and my own changing reactions to those specific points.

One of the series will be looking outward from the boundaries, open and wide; the other will be inward looking, intimate depictions of places only ever seen by one or two people.
