On the hottest day in the last 100 years, I rocked up very early (7am) to Hackney Reservoir to find the very organised StoryVault productions having set up a very impressive staging for #laoty day of filming.

This one is based on a trip Jason & I made to Venice back in 2016, I was missing traveling and yearned to be in a different clime. Venice is stunning on any given day, on the day I took the picture this is based on it was before the sun had burnt off the misty start to the day. It gave an ethereal insight into Venice for me and I just love the smokiness of this painting.

This is a beautiful small burst of colour and my first timed canvas taking me just over 2 hours to complete. It really helped to take the pressure off me knowing I could create a work of art I love well within the time allowed in the heat. Anything after this piece was more about keeping my hand in than timeframes so a really significant work of art in the process for me.

After the initial excitement/shock/joy started to wear off I started thinking… you haven’t painted for 7 months.

I think I’m not alone when I say that 2020 wasn’t the best of years!
Back in March 2020, the UK had gone into its first national lock-down and I found myself at home with my partner Jason having taken custody of my studio and 3 children to home school.
Now don’t get me wrong I love the little blighters but I’m no teacher and I have zero intention of becoming one. Nonetheless here we were Jason, working harder than I’d ever seen him do so from my artist studio, myself homeschooling, and endlessly cooking and cleaning and washing blooming clothes!
