'Liminal' by F. E. Clark (sold)
February: Here We Go! - I have come to realise that January is not my month for beginnings - it is my time to be recovering, hibernating, researching, just getting by. February, seems a rather more easy time to begin, and so, here I am waving hello again, and wondering how everyone is doing?
As I write, Storm Henry is raging over Scotland; already this year we have had floods, gales and snow. Many people have lost their homes and businesses. Bowie, Rickman, Wogan, and many of those whose names are not engrained in our collective psyche, but are, nonetheless, just as dear to us, have passed on. Plants and trees are flowering too early, warmth and ice alternate in the howling gales. I am reminded of the film, Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance, and dig my heels into the earth and wait.
One Foot at a Time - I challenge myself this month to paint some larger pieces, these will be at least a foot square, one a week might be a good goal. Above, is Liminal - a painting which began its journey to its new home this January - this is the size of painting I hope to be working on this month.

Commissions - above/below are paintings of the phases of the moon, that I painted for a commission at the end of last year. To be asked to paint four moon paintings is rather a dream scenario for me! I hope to take on more of these requests this year - do get in touch if you would like to discuss having something painted.
