In a spin

Head - oil on gessoed paper 2010

All go. Finishing the framing of the Di Filippo wines Novello d'Autore paintings for Saturday evening's launch in Perugia.

being watched

standing stone

Still fixating on Mt Subasio above Assisi, there is something so open about the the place so disturbingly vacant, soleless and wild and yet all  there is this hidden or semi hidden humanity. You can be alone up there but it always feels to me as if you're being watched. It really is the stuff of Peter Cushing....

Yellow

Reading Van Gogh's letters and thinking about yellow. I find it a disturbing colour, not because of v.G. I'm not sure why - to me it is not sunny (usually) unless its a very warm or dirty yellow. Anything bright and acidy I can hardly bear to look at. Some time ago I painted this wounded dog. The only colour I could think to describe his pain was yellow.
