Day 13-  Three paintings finished. 12 studio sessions until installation. Real life is very hectic and orders are flying in. Having to juggle between Secret Garden and the order book. Least it is rainnig so the real garden is not so tempting.

Day 18- The start of one of nine large scale silk paintings











Day 20 - Templates done, design sorted and technical details finalised. Total 2 months, thinking, planning and talking leaving 20 studio days to create the work. This is my account of what it takes to get an exhibition walls so to speak.
