Time Flies

As I was choosing which pieces of work to share on my website, I was often surprised about the date that I had made the work. When I finish something, I must think of it as THE PAST because work that I did six months ago, or even a year ago feels like it was made such a long time ago. 

A year ago I was making monotypes for the Red Dot miniprint exhibition. The print of the gull was sold before the first exhibition was even hung. Lesley, from Red dot emailed and said she felt the early sale boded well… Little did we allknow that covid would arrive and life would change so completely.

When I make monotypes I work from drawings, my imagination, and sometimes use photos to solve a problem. The gull ‘arrived’ in the image.  I was not long back from Maine where on a walk I had watched the noisy creatures for some time. 

Sometimes I wish I could click my heels three times and arrive somewhere. On this rainy night I’d like to be on the back shore with the gulls.
