Toddler Steps

Um...this is like the beginning...um..I've been thinking about my friends and how I'm not so good at keeping in touch but I love to see your photos on all these fancy sites so I'm trying one.
I think I'm supposed to tell you what I'm up to too.
I have an exhibition starting on Wednesday.
I am getting old because I go for a run sometimes and I really believe it makes me feel good. Try it. I don't have any matching gear though.

I enjoy talking to Ian who I share a studio with. In conversation and I suppose in blogging, posting, showing photos, we often make out our lives to be perfectly polished.
It's good to admit that a lot of the time we don't really know what we're doing.
When I'm painting a portrait, it's a process of discovery. I often pretend that I know what I'm doing, but I love to paint people I can be blundering with, dropping brushes, sighing, scratching my head. I feel at ease that way.
Do you know what you're doing?
