We're now in the second week of January and I haven't updated my blog in quite a while. I finished last term on an absolute high considering I'd completed my teaching application etc... I am still wating for a response to my application but I have been informed that it is being processed.
I am very excited about this term as we have to complete a double module, which means we have longer to work. We are also working towards an exhibition that starts on June the 1st, and ends on the 18th @The Williamson Art Gallery. Those of you that know me, know that I am way too impatient and need to start painting right away or I feel like I've not done any work haha.
I have many ideas but I am just continuing with one for the time being.
So here it is, the start of my new theme:

Ritual Collection- Oil on Canvas, 2ft x 1ft
I still think both of the pictures, possibly need a little more work doing to them. but I am extremely happy with the development of painting skill and style I have made since my previous 'competition' series.
The work is based on the process of applying make-up, and lying to ourselves. The idea of being cosmetically appealing but being portrayed in exposing and somewhat distorted and uncomfortable ways.
