Things moving apace –
now at the end of week 2, this is day 6. Work slightly hampered by helping sort
out and set up the Worcester Open, of which the opening is tomorrow and I hope
you will all attend.
Anyway, I have almost
finished a painting. It is called Playboy: Bounty Bunny Hunter and features a
near naked figure stalking two giant Playboy style bunnies grazing just the
other side of a hillside.
It draws inspiration and comfort from the man made signs and symbols that are dotted around our landscape. The bunny logo brings together the old with the modern. The male figure* is based upon limestone outlined figures on chalk downs, often of horses and often found in Wiltshire, although this one might be more closely related to Dorset’s Giant at Cerne Abbas.
In truth it's not very good although I have had fun with the drippy paint technique that Peter Doig and his followers seem to be much enamoured with. Apart from that it's a bit shit.

Go Paul!
