Hi All,

Happy new year to everyone!

I have to admit to having been a bit lazy recently with getting work produced edited and uploaded! There really are not too many excuses for this other than "things" seem to have taken over a bit, nothing major or important but just everyday "life"

My plans for 2013 are to increase my workload in terms of photography, to continue on the themes i've been exploring but also to produce more oil based work. This is all time consuming stuff but something I really love doing so I need to put some more effort in, clear my schedule a bit more and continue to produce the work I love doing.

In particular plans for the first half of 2013:

- A few large oil pieces. Whilst I have managed to do lots of smaller pieces I'd like to complete a couple of really large paintings I've had in my mind for a while now

- Plan less. My work usually doesn't work out too well when I plan individual pieces, and usually it's the work that I plan the least which actually works really well - so I need to trust my instinct and feeling more

- Spend more time interacting on here. I want to build a bigger network of contacts on here, I already have people that I follow and really enjoy looking at the work they produce but I suspect I have only just scratched the surface!

Anyway enough words, time to get on with some pictures

Oli.
