Excited about the next set of paintings in my series on T.S. Eliot’s ‘Four Quartets.’ Having completed ‘Burnt Norton’ and ‘East Coker,’ I’m now working on ‘The Dry Salvages’ and have the titles for all 12 paintings ready to go (scroll across to see). All titles are quotations from ‘The Dry Salvages’ and I’m loving working on them.

Really excited to be a contributing artist to the Brooklyn Art Library’s Sketchbook Project. They have more than 45,000 sketchbooks in their collection, made by artists from all over the world, and when I’ve completed mine, it will join them and be digitised for their website. I’ve got so many ideas for what to do with the sketchbook, how to theme it etc., but I’m going to have to make a decision and get going with it. Very exciting! @brooklynartlibrary #brooklynartlibrary #sbpprocess #sketchbook #sketchbookproject #thesketchbookproject #artlibrary #art #archives #sbpprogress #sketchbookwork #libraries #artistslife #fromthestudio

After a week in bed with the flu, and another week of recovery basically watching old episodes of Inspector Morse from under a blanket, it was lovely to get out for a walk this afternoon. It even felt like Spring might soon be in the air. 🌱🌷🍃 Looking forward to getting back in the studio this week. 👩🏻‍🎨 #springisintheair #sunday #priorpark #priorparkbath #bathskyline #sundaywalks #snowdrops #wildgarlic #springflowers #blossom #bath

The final four paintings in the East Coker section of my series of works on T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets: ‘Undisciplined squads of emotion,’ ‘Home is where one starts from,’ ‘Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter’ and ‘In my end is my beginning.’ So, the twelve paintings each for Burnt Norton and East Coker are complete. Coming up next, the twelve paintings for The Dry Salvages... #eastcoker #inmyendismybeginning #burntnorton #fourquartets #tseliot #eliot #artandpoetry #wordsandpictures #artandliterature #20thcenturyliterature #faber #faberandfaber #originalart #abstractart #abstractlandscape #artseries #smallworks #originalpainting #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #landscapepainting #somerset #modernism

Paintings 5 - 8 in the East Coker section of my paintings on T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets: ‘I said to my soul, be still,’ ‘Wait Without Thought,’ ‘So the darkness shall be the light and the stillness the dancing’ and ‘One has only learnt to get the better of words for the thing one no longer has to say.’ The final one in these four is one of my favourites from the whole series so far. #eliot #tseliot #fourquartets #eastcoker #artseries #smallworks #poetry #artandpoetry #artandliterature #wordsandpictures #artandbooks #20thcenturyliterature #faber #faberandfaber #abstractlandscape #abstractlandscapepainting #landscapepainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #contemporarylandscapepainting #somerset #britishartists #britishlandscape #skies #livingartists #fromthestudio #art #painting

Paintings 1 - 4 in the East Coker section of my pieces on T.S. Eliot’s ‘Four Quartets’: ‘East Coker,’ ‘In my beginning is my end,’ ‘Wait for the early owl’ and ‘And every moment is a new and shocking valuation of all we have been.’ Deciding which lines I’d use for this section was much harder than it was for the Burnt Norton section because, of the four poems in Four Quartets, East Coker is my favourite. Even though I made the 12 paintings I planned for this section, it feels to me like there are absences in not having made, for instance, ‘dark in the afternoon,’ ‘Our only health is the disease if we obey the dying nurse’ and ‘A lifetime burning in every moment.’ But it occurs to me that, just as in life we live alongside the things we haven’t done, as artists we live alongside the pieces we haven’t made. #eliot #tseliot #fourquartets #eastcoker #burntnorton #poetry #artandpoetry #wordsandpictures #20thcenturyliterature #modernism #faber #faberandfaber #artseries #smallworks #artandliterature #originalpainting #britishlandscape #abstractlandscape #contemporaryart #contemporarylandscapepainting #britishcontemporaryart #trees #art #britishartists #livingartists #fromthestudio
