This week I feel like a serious artist. I have been painting for 4-5 hours a day (usually at night after returning home from work) preparing for my exhibition in Phnom Penh early next month. I am bloodshot every morning. But the rigor of the schedule is affirming and there is a deep satisfaction about being regular. Last night I finished another work. Each work takes around 2-3 days to complete from sketch on paper, to sketch on canvas, to finished painting. I can roll up the acrylic paintings after a couple of hours, no need for oil to dry. Below are two sketches done last night before sleeping which will be layed out of canvas and painted this evening. Each painting is approximately 90x75cm (35x30").
