So, May arrived...as did my Open House Exhibition, the one-woman play I did in the Brighton Festival and the start of rehearsals for Sheridan's play 'The Critic' for Chichester theatre this Summer... Consequently there was very little time for anything, apart from sleeping, worrying, eating...and of course taking a few pictures...
BUT look, I've tried to attempt a 'new-look' blog Thank you Elaine!): rather ambitious after a couple of bottles of Stella, but I'm putting off the ironing...
This is a painting of a woman's voice I was recently commissioned to do...
...here, I just liked the squares
...here, I liked the man-made sun-burst in the rain...
...other man-made stuff
...night wires and wet trees...
...the Open House cat! (and Holly Bell's fantastic ceramics)
...ah, yes...don't really do this, but was rather proud of a Brighton Festival Award our show received and for being nominated for Best Female Performer in the Festival (blimey, wasn't expecting that!), so yes, this is me and playwright Charlotte Jones celebrating 'The Diva in Me'!
...despite some rehearsal rooms being fusty and full of flea-ridden old sofas, I was lucky enough to spend some rehearsal time here at the Nightingale Theatre...
...and only moments away from the chip shop!!!
So after a May of madness, things are settling down a bit...I'm back in the theatre making use of my small-ness next to someone else's tall-ness for great comic effect...and happy!!!
Stunning photos as ever!

Hi Phillipa
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE! I am so pleased for you. You must be over the moon.
I wonder what that person's voice sounds like, the painting looks so different to some of the other ones you have done. I wonder what my voice would look like on canvas. I'll find out one day when I'll commission you to do a painting for me!
Take care
