all go this week so far, Stornoway twice on Monday and that’s a 45min bus ride each way so equates to 3 hours on a bus, I really must sort out some knitting to do, I wish I could read on a bus without feeling sick,

Tuesday the local art group meeting then as the weather was nice out in the garden weeding all afternoon, I wish the nice plants grew as fast as weeds and the weeds grew as slow as the nice plants, why is the world back to front, I didn’t really do anything at the art meeting I didn’t like what I started so spent the second hour seeing what others had done which was totally enjoyable,

Wednesday, back at the Blue Pig studio for an all day session with Jane Harlington, these are not like the open sessions I went to before Christmas, Jane is teaching part of the morning this time not painting but about Art and looking at the work of Artists and then discussing, then we each moved on to our own projects, my project is the cave symbols and the landscape around where they are, so Jane got me painting papers with ‘marks’ I always feel a bit lost when tutors tell me to ‘make marks’ …. What marks? How marks? Jane suggested I look at the work of Michael Morgan and has loaned me a book of his work and I have been reading it and begin to see what she meant by ‘mark making’ I haven’t taken photos yet of the papers I have done so far I will and upload them and I have got to make lots more, only Jane knows what I am going to do with them as I don’t! I do prefer papers as they are more like working with fabric, I don’t like blank white omg what do I do with it…..
