The lovely Emma Cassi asked me to collaborate with her for her Fall/Winter 2012-13 collection.
An honor and a pleasure.

Vibrant
My table holds new work, time will tell if I manage to go where I want with it.
But so far the journey feels right.
I daren't show you the painting on my wall that I am working on...so much for changing my style. Perhaps thats it, you can't.
How you paint is how you paint.
Full stop.
I had a little laugh to myself today as the paintings bright colours look like the Queens dresses. Vibrant.
Did you know she always has to be the brightest dressed person in the room?
Whatever the out come of the painting, it has been christened 'Queenie'.
Loving twitter at the moment.
Hello to new followers on pinterest. (how addictive is it?)
My friend Amelia Critchlow is having an exhibition at the crypt gallery, London. If you are going to see Freud, it is just across the road.
Also if you are in London look out for the Big Egg Hunt! Matilda found 8 the other day, she loved it.

I've been working on a couple of pieces for charity auctions coming up.
Seems like a good opportunity to give something back, while I sit and think about my style of working, and what I want to be making next.
I am finding it hard to find the courage to move on, perhaps a bit of me likes the known, and at the same time scared to venture forth. I need to just try, even if I ruin a few things along the way.
In the mean time I am gathering bits that I have forgotten about, sorting through layers upon layers of lace, buttons etc from my by gone days as a buyer.
We used to go to NY and hunt through all the flea markets, filling our pockets with bags of beads, old frames, hand bags and the such like.
Oh such glorious days.
The flea markets used to be up in the meat packing area, in old parking lots.
I wonder if they are still there, or if they have been replaced by galleries and fancy shops.
I hope to get the chance to visit one day, to see for myself.

John Smith (1652-1743)
John Smith (1652-1743)
Lord Buckhurst and Lady Mary Sackville, 1695
Mezzotint.
Such a beautiful print, exquisite detail. In reality it looks like a drawing.
Picture taken on my iphone at the British Museum.
