The Athole House Studio
Self-Isolation Artist Residency
30th March 2020

Over my career I have taken part in many artist residencies in various parts of the world; I have even organised and run a residency program myself. 2020 has brought new challenges to us all, I however intend to treat these challenges as opportunities. With this in mind today, the first day of my self-isolation having arrived back from my studio in the Untied States last night, I I launch my new blog which will become an integral part of this website as I redesign is over the coming weeks.

Artist Residencies give artists the space and perhaps more importantly the time to make new work; I intend to treat my time in self-isolation in the same way that I would if I were on an artist residency in another studio in another part of the world. Athole House Studio maybe one of my home studios but for me it is a work space, and lets face it, we all now have the time.

New Painting, "Where they kiss.", 2020, oil on canvas, 600 x 600 mm.

The new painting, 'Where they kiss', took a sudden leap forward in the last 24 hours. Previously I thought that it was very close to completion but when I returned to it I realised two things; one, that it was far from finished but also two, that I knew exactly what I needed to do with it. As I mentioned previously in many ways this is a return to my previous style of painting and I slipped back into it with great relish.

I do intend to examine this painting in much greater detail in the next week or so and I will publish those thoughts as things progress. I also intent to re-photograph it as I have found it very difficult to transmit its subtleties photographically, hence the details below.
