But then I started to realise that I now had more time to paint than before and less other commitments or deadlines so I decided to try and think of it as \u2018taking time out\u2019 and just to do work I \u2018felt\u2019 like doing, and without any thoughts of \u2018finished pieces\u2019 for the time being anyway, so I started to do lots of explorations and several sets or series of 6 small pieces and A2 ones, using inks acrylic collage mixed media, and reflecting on ways I hadn\u2019t worked for a while, as a student, and later encouraging students to do in explorations. To loosen up and try to work more spontaneously and hopefully more creatively I started to draw and paint with my right hand (I\u2019m left handed) this gave me less control but enlivening, the intensity and variety of marks changed, and it \u2018felt\u2019 good, I was reminded of how much I like the way my young grandchildren make marks and draw creatively. Painting onto paper on the floor while standing above it is also great but not so good for my back though! I have put some pieces on the \u2018studio wall\u2019 in my now messy studio and sent some small examples to view. Anyway this is all \u2018work in progress\u2019 and hopefully something of this will find its way into more finished pieces later on, and create some changes all relative at the moment. The studio has become a sanctuary for a while at least in the current situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first few weeks of lockdown found me unable to carry on with work I had been doing or planned to do, I felt sort of stuck, even going to the studio was a challenge!
