Dear Subscriber,
It's been a busy few months for me and largely spent working on paintings, with some time set aside for music too!
I've finished many of my paintings planned for 2009 and I'm very busy planning new works for next year. The paintings are getting larger and more epic in scale and my exhibition schedule is getting busier too.
The Down to a Fine Art studio in Stretton, Cheshire, has shown several of my paintings to date and in December will be showing four pictures including the première of a the new painting, "Money Just Running Out". That exhibition, "Zeitgeist", includes three other paintings "Yet More Ends Are Even", "So, It Has Come To This" and "Spear of Destiny".
The Mall Galleries in London will be showing The Death By Explosion Of Moons And Keyholes as part of the Art Liberating Lives, an annual charity exhibition held by the Sue Ryder charity. The exhibition runs from 16 Dec to 20 Dec 2009. I'm very pleased with this picture and I feel sure it will do well.
There are two local exhibitions too, one organised by my art group at Winsford Library, and one held in the offices of Jobling Gowler in Macclesfield, January to March.
Musically I've completed the mastering of a new album, The Infinite Forest. The album uses wholly orchestral instruments for the first time and was originally written as a suite for a computer game. The music has been expanded and linked to create a new album. The Infinite Forest will be available by download from my website shortly, with printed versions coming later when I've designed the cover artwork!
Some game news too. My game Flatspace is now available for iPhone and can be obtained from Apple iTunes. The conversion was handled by a company called Wisp Games and if popular will lead to more Flatspace games.
I'm working more than ever at the moment, and happy too. My artistic plans for the future are always more ambitious than I can achieve but I'm sure that by striving towards only the best I can imagine, I will manifest more, better works than I have produced before. My 2010 plans call for at least one new music album and ten large paintings, each better than the last.
