Day 11: Three years ago today

Three years ago today my life was very different. Ivy was not even in the making. I was a student in my final year and living up North. I spent way too much time on Facebook and in bed, and not enough time in the studio or library. Although it looks like I was in the studio that day, as I took these pictures...

 

Paintings.

My most recent paintings, in various stages of unfinish. I finally put them up in the studio today. Hopefully this will help me to reflected on what it is that I need to do to finish them. Also there was a big blank wall needing a bit of colour and cheer :)



Tomorrow evening I have a stall at a vintage fair selling my not at all vintage photo cards, and hopefully some prints of my paintings. My fingers are crossed. At some point I plan to set up an etsy shop, but I don't yet have a credit card. One day.

And a couple of self-portraits that resulted from me discovering that these uni computers have cameras in! Oooh technology!



I better get back to the studio I think. The internet keeps distracting me with inspirational photos of homes!

My studio space

My studio space, as I left it this evening. I will really miss it!

Recently I have been going in every possible day and totally loving it.

Now I have three weeks without it and then all my work has to be handed in. Most of my time there today was spent stretching paper and preparing canvases to last me the next few weeks. I have a lot to take home with me. Here's hoping I will be as productive as I have been.
