Lock-down 1 arrived suddenly and severed a series of demonstrations that I had commenced for a local art group. In order to bring the work to a satisfactory conclusion and as a means of trying something new I completed one of the works and made a video recording of the process. It was great fun and involved learning about time-lapse photography and the assembly of a video. I even managed to add a bit of background music. I put the work up on YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uRzs6KlFsY8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was great fun to do but was time consuming and the number of viewings reveals that I\u2019m not likely to make a career out of art videos any time soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the middle of the Lockdown phase 1 we found ourselves with our pregnant daughter and our three year old granddaughter staying with us for several weeks whilst we all \u2018sheltered.\u2019 Entertaining a lively three-year-old led to the exploration of papier m\u00e2ch\u00e9 as a sculptural medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Barton-Mains atelier produced some notable works that can be seen in the photograph. Florrie and I are awaiting offers from a Gallery. Incidentally, my assistant adopted the unusual fashion of wearing a pair of her knickers as studio headgear. The origin of this habit remains a mystery. She certainly didn\u2019t acquire it from me although I remain profoundly impressed by both her early artistic endeavours and somewhat sartorial eccentricities!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The winter brought snow and cold weather \u2013 an unusual event in this part of Fife since we are adjacent to the Firth of Forth. This produced some stunning landscapes and the opportunity for a few quick paintings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lock-down 1 arrived suddenly and severed a series of demonstrations that I had commenced for a local art group.
