decided to print off A4 images i have sent to photobox for 30x20 prints.... and i really like them all!! .. a bit excited really :) tried gloss and matt papers and the darks on the matt are gorgeous and rich :) but outcome wasn't uniform ... sometimes matt/gloss were better, more vibrant ... couln't have guessed outcome.
as i was waiting for printer thought i would read sean scully ... but vasarely also popped into mind so pulled book off shelf and am finding initial pages really interesting!... i had been interested in his work when i was 20, but had not really considered hi since then.... i seem to remember painting a few straight edges and circles, which i found quite tedious.

thoughts still going round in head about pecha kucha and essay.... but still a bit directionless, but it's ok ... as soon as i go down one route, i'm not going down the other!
had a good hangout with jane and jill ... it's good to share and it helps to focus ones thoughts.
... thinking for rest of project will stay with digital work (whilst i persuade myself that it's proper art!!) and layers/looking into/through/. ... not sure what direction this might go in. Will continue reading vasarely and scully and possibly pick up ideas of colours in landscape/abstract landscape??
due to ordering posters last night,another good offer has come through on acrylic panels with chance to pay now and make within 3 months. It would be good to create something new for exhibitions in summer but it would still be an investment. (have 3 days to take up offer) ... if money was no problem it would be an easy decision as i'm sure i will make something worth while during that time....but???? would they sell?? the creative part is in the making pre-print ... just for my virual, or projected gallery.
