Instead of hibernating this winter I decided to lock myself in my studio and paint. I made up lots of 100cm X 100cm canvasses, surrounded myself with them and then got to work. It has been refreshing not to have an end in sight and just to experiment.

Music and films figured highly whilst working, in particular 'Glassworks' by Philip Glass and the series of films 'Comedies and Proverbs' by Eric Rohmer - strangely, instead of distracting me they allowed me to focus more. I only have a short space of time during the day whilst the children are at school and the time restrictions have also added a new momentum to my working practice.

Lots more to do, started two more series today and still a few yet to finish.
