new work
Hello,
We Have all have had positive encouragement from passers by - helps to keep things going. My two chairs instillation idea has gone onto a 'backburner' for a little while as the production of more images in paint seems to take first priority.

something from me - Barbara
Hello I'm Barbara - one of the crowd working in the Bridge. Sometimes it is very cold. When the sun shines it is like an oven. Pauline has invested in a big fan. i might do the same.
So far I've been looking at the effects of light on the interior arches of the station. they produce a lace like quality. so processed some snaps of these through the 'fixer' and saw my ispiration. have finished two pictures and am hoping to develop an installation idea using two found chairs. Hope it works out wish me luck.

20th April
I had a good drawing day at the station today. I'm beginning with a series of mixed media drawings exploring different compositions and then hope to work them up to some large scale oil paintings.The parts that interests me most are the deserted platforms, barricaded off to prevent public access. As ever, when tackling an unfamiliar subject matter, it takes me a while to get in to my stride but by the end of this morning there was light at the end of the tunnel (no pun intended).
Several people waved and knocked on the windows and I saw a couple read the information sheets. It is quite strange being so exposed but so far the reaction seems to be positive.

Thursday 15th April.Arrived at the studio after taking some work to be exhibited in Living North Spring Art Fair. Rolf and Raija were there. Raija and I took some photos of my work space then I continued to paint,listening as usual to my ipod compilation to keep my adrenalin going. It was a cold grey day with sea fret billowing round outside.
A knock on the window drew my attention to the smiling face of my friend Linda Kaye who owns Studio 1 in Tynemouth. She gave me the thumbs up sign and said all looked good. We chatted briefly, then she took a photo of me working.
Other people passed by and peered in to look at our work and read the publicity texts on the outside walls of the studio. There is a feeling that we are attracting attention to our project.Will be glad when the weather gets warmer. It's a strange feeling when your hands become too cold to work.
