I've finished the second of my 3 giant charcoal drawings and here's a couple of close-up photos to show texture detail. Can you guess what they are yet?
There's now less than 3 weeks before the work must be completed. I have to take all the exhibition work to Cliffe Castle, Keighley on 12th September so they can have 2 weeks to organise the hanging for the preview which is taking place on Saturday 24th September.
It all feels too scarily close, so tomorrow I'm straight on to starting the third drawing. The giant sheet of paper is already fixed up and ready to go.
My space at Brooklyn Studios in Hebden Bridge is too small for doing these drawings so Trevor Smith the owner of Machpelah Mill has very kindly agreed to let me use the large basement room there. The windows look out onto the canal and its very peaceful, which is just as well as I'm starting to feel the strain of my deadline...
I'm really thrilled that your ideas are coming together to produce an exhibition of quality worthy of all the long hours of thought and hard work that you've given to this project.
