Sometimes I like this piece and sometimes I think it looks as though it could have been painted by any number of people. It’s hanging on the wall at the moment to see if it passes “the wall test”.

I like the Americans and their funny phrases and the way they call their arse their butt. I’ve had this week off work, to get a show hung and also to “veg out” a bit. Delivering work for the show was a bit manic as they phoned me once I’d got home requesting more work. [...]

Here are a couple of pictures of a new piece I thought was turning into some sort of cartoon reef for a while. It’s named Peggy and measures 50 x 100 cm. Oh and it’s a diptych, that’s not just a wonky line I painted down the middle… I’ll get the tripod out tomorrow.. Anyway, [...]

I was in a foul mood yesterday evening because of an email from a gallery assistant, basically insinuating that I was deliberately messing her around. All she wanted was an image list and because of their archaic system, she was unable to open the attachment each time I tried to send it. Then I forgot [...]

I’ve been sitting in front of these on and off all week, I’ve been ill but there’s always that feeling I should be doing something. Was supposed to be working on a commission, but it’s to be like an older piece and I find that really difficult to do so I end up doing other [...]

I’m slightly addicted to it and spend lots of time on re-title.com, Newbloodart and the big painting prize websites, just looking at the shortlists and googling the artists. I find it fascinating seeing the different paths people take to get [...]

I’m text-only today as the little “add image” button’s gone and I can’t for the life of me find it. I updated my flickr today though with images of Miriam, my super-new painting, if you fancy some new images that is. Last night I was indulging in one of my most unappealing habits, namely, googling [...]

Hello, my name’s Georgie. I think I’d better introduce myself a little, seeing as how I’ll probably pop up a fair bit on this blog and as it’s not mine alone, an introduction makes sense. I’m a painter who graduated from Loughborough 5 years ago with a degree in Fine Art. I desperately wanted to [...]
