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.

Although I am currently working on the next painting in my 'Idle Hands Series' I don't feel that its ready enough to post this evening. Instead I'm taking the opportunity to add two more paintings to my #artistsupportpledge catalogue.

'Carved from the Land' was a series of landscape painting that I created for a painting last year. The idea behind the series was to produce a series of small and medium sized, impasto oils on canvas that would through the usage of paint and knife attempt to reflect some of the nature and textures of the West Coast of Scotland. It was my idea that although these works would clearly remain within the province of painting that the thickness of the paint used along with the the heavy drag, cut and carved marks of the palette knife would also infer sculpture and relief works. The two paintings which I am releasing to the catalogue tonight are great examples of the project in that they exhibit all 3 primary elements of landscape painting; sky, land and sea. Each of these elements is heavily worked with the palette knife through a variety of techniques to add texture and life to their distinctive flavours.
