Abstract

This series of paintings are all on canvas. Medium is acrylic. NO brushes - paint straight from the tube and thinned on the canvas.  Once dry the paints look very matt and dull so I found a very inexpensive method of varnishing without using varnish - sorry going to keep that tip a professional secret. This is the half way stage "Battlefield" painting and literally watching paint dry!

Once dry I will apply white smoke, black flack and a few red poppies in the foreground.



Invincible - Play at Quay Theatre Sudbury (Sudbury Dramatics Society)

Synopsis

"It’s 2012; and amidst the flag waving fervour of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, one couple find the costs of living in the capital too much to bear and decide to downsize and downshift their middle-class life to a small town in the north of England.
To try and break the ice and integrate themselves with their new surroundings, Emily and Oliver invite their neighbours, bimbo-esque Dawn and footie fanatic Alan, round for ‘drinks and nibbles.’
During a catastrophic evening of olives, cashews and beer swigged from the can, class and culture collide in a mix of tragic and hilarious consequences.

Think Alan Ayckbourn combined with John Godber with a bit of Mike Leigh thrown in and you’re in the right area. Invincible is a powerful yet very funny modern drama that won high praise from various critics, indeed, if you enjoyed Leigh’s classic Abigail’s Party, then Invincible will strike a chord."
