Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

I've had a completely mad week re-painting all the mythical/symbol inspired paintings I do. I've been trying to source a printer and looking at them again I realised that a) they were too small to make the size posters I want and b) they are pathetic and I can do a lot better. So I've reworked every single one of them - 7 paintings in 7 days. A bit like creating the world only with more angst and no Sunday. In the process I've covered everything with paint, lost my dining table (AKA my studio...) under a sea of debris and pretty much forgotten to eat at any time that I should. And I've hardly been out of the house.

Yesterday I thought they were all wonderful. Today I realise that they are all c***. Such is art....

This is ironically called 'Sleep' something I've had very little of this week with all these paintings floating around in my head.

Well, I've reached the point where I'm trying to sort out the products - posters and cards - that I want to sell on the website. Up until now I never seriously considered that this would be difficult compared to all the techy and business stuff, but I've been in an agony of indecision ever since I started. How big should the posters be? A3 A2? Are they really posters or art prints? What text should go on them? How big should that be? How do I solve the square picture (why on earth do I always paint square pictures) on a rectangular poster riddle. I could of course make the posters square but it's a bit hard on buyers looking for a cheap ready-made framing option. So far the poster design has gone through 4 incarnations and I'm not done yet, but here is how one would look so far....

Watch this space. It could be anything by the end of the week.
