I might be a little late with number 8, but I’m trying to keep up to date, with #figuary2020.
Last week I took down my paintings from my studio walls and packed them for delivery to Galerie 4614 Marchtrenk. My studio looks rather bare now.
I was running a bit behind schedule with this one. It’s been a long day, but I put the effort in to finish this so I did not skip a day of #figuary.
Day four of #figuary. This time I paid attention to keeping this drawing simpler and leaving the polish off.
I have other artwork to put time into, so I can’t spend much time on these #figuary drawings. But, I guess that’s the aim of the exercise, to produce expressive drawings. In that case, this one is overworked.
I came across #Figuary, February as the month of the figure, it was the excuse I needed to embark upon a drawing a figure per day.
It has been a hectic past week preparing for this week’s group exhibition. I’ve been racing to finish one of the larger pieces for the show.
So that was 2019, and now 2020 is upon us. Here’s my best of 9 artworks for 2019. I’m looking forward to producing more this coming year.
Three of my paintings are touring with the Magical Dreams V exhibition organised by Bator Art Gallery. The next exhibition opens in Warsaw, Poland, Jan 9. 2020.
It’s said that 10,000 hours of deliberate practice is required to master anything. So if you did roughly three hours a day, every day (OK, one day off), it would take you approximately 10 years to reach mastery. Let that…
So that was 2018. Thank you for your support and being part of the journey.
Wishing you all the best for 2019!
