This week has been a step outside the normal hustle, haste and banterfest of our usual everyday.

This week I have been alone...well, apart from our elderly dog, Buzz.

At first the grand canyon for contemplation was disconcerting and then things morphed into a kind of body centric practice whereby I ate when I felt like it, painted when I felt like it, woke when I felt like it, slept when I felt like it...and I like it!



I abandoned the airy studio in favour of the kitchen with it's stove and reliable wifi and covered half of the large table with paints, pens, papers and cut pieces of primed canvas and trialled ideas for a portrait commission.



My want is that the painting communicates the character of it's subject: the vulnerabilities, strengths, interests...

I'm not interested in just achieving a likeness.



So I work to trial the impression given with the strength of a line, a wash of colour, the intensity of an eye, and play with metaphor.



And in between I dance, visit the sheep and nibble on the odd mushroom.

I enjoyed the way you described being comfortable with your own company instead of treating solitude as something that always needs to be fixed or avoided. The distinction between choosing time alone and feeling isolated really stood out, because those two experiences often get mixed together even though they can feel completely different. It also made me think about how ideas around independence and personal perspective appear in many different conversations, whether someone is reflecting on everyday life or exploring a Law Dissertation Topic that examines individual rights and society from different angles. I’m curious whether your relationship with solitude has changed gradually over the years, or if there was one particular experience that completely shifted the way you viewed…
