Well, I started to recreate an old painting of mine (my first sale) but wasn't too happy with the way it was going. After several days of working on the picture, I decided that I was getting bogged down and started on a new canvas. Much better! Now I can see where I was going wrong with the first attempt.
By the way, I visited Art Matters in Earlswood, near Redhill in Surrey. This is a facility providing art therapy to those with mental health issues (stress, anxiety, depression etc.). I was amazed at the high quality of the work produced under the guidance of the manager, Mark Cremmen. They always take part in Surrey Artists Open Studios and are also planning an event to mark Mental Health Week on 8 October between 1:30 and 4pm. Why not go along and be surprised.
