Being on my own most of the time is the part of this new enterprise which frightens me the most. At least social media enables me to maintain a connection with the outside world and I am hoping that customers will contact me for a chat about potential orders and commissions and that there will be opportunities to hold exhibitions and/or be part of art fairs.
I say that I don’t usually leave works unfinished, but, in my office/studio, there is a massive half-finished painting of a flower bed in Hyde Park which will take so much work to get to a point where I don’t hate it, that I cannot quite bring myself to start again. As I stare at it, I am reminded that it needs one last push to get it done.
