Out most of the day.  I continued to work on IMPROVISATION FIVE - SNIFFING SUBMARINE during the limited time I was actually in my studio.

I carried on painting the pencil lines on IMPROVISATION FIVE - SNIFFING SUBMARINE.  This was another day when I had too many other things to do - I sold some paintings though.

I finished off IMPROVISATION FIVE - SNIFFING SUBMARINE; completing the painting of the pencil lines and then minimal filling in, detailing etc. 

I returned to HIEROPHANTASY: IF I BELIEVE I AM IMMORTAL, I AM after a long break.  I added symbols which were based on initiating shapes added when I did the first stage but which also refer to the theme.  These symbols evolve on an abstract level and can be subsequently viewed on an inter-referential basis. 

I finished detailing and added imagery to HIEROPHANTASY: IF I BELIEVE I AM IMMORTAL, I AM - the inference being that the work is completed.  I will never be sure with this type of picture.

I looked at its companion painting, THE DAY THE LION WOKE UP AS THE ANTELOPE but didn't get any farther than that

I began detailing and adding thematic matarial to THE DAY THE LION WOKE UP AS THE ANTELOPE.  Like the previous work the symbols evolve from a small number of initial images although they have more internal relevance in this work.

I was out all morning but carried on with THE DAY THE LION WOKE UP AS THE ANTELOPE all afternoon.  There is more detailing needed with this work but also more scope to explore the theme.

I finished THE DAY THE LION WOKE UP AS THE ANTELOPE; This work has more homogeneity and linkage between the image sets - which doesn't mean I am that pleased with it!  I've currently got a huge number of works to complete so I'm not sure where I will go next.  Family day tomorrow.

I pulled out another painting from my huge stack of unfinished works; this time a work I started much earlier entitled THREE BATHERS (a pendant to SEATED WOMAN  which I belatedly finished in 2007).  The structure and main paint layer was finished so all I have to do is "attach" the symbols and other imagery.

After a considerable number of interruptions I managed to get into my studio to continue work on THREE BATHERS.  I added more images (based on facial features, body parts or symbols representing our passage through life).  Hopefully I will finish it tomorrow - depending, of course, on the level of interruptions I receive!

I finished THREE BATHERS, adding the rest of the images and doing a modicum of filling in and other detailing.

I then pulled out four other unfinished canvases: MOLECULAR CRUCIFIXION, THE MOMENT WHEN ONE MAN BECAME MANY, WOMAN WITH CHILD BEHIND A DIFFUSIVE ELABORATION OF A CLASSICAL THEME, WOMAN WITH CHILD INTERMIXED WITH A SEQUENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A CLASSICAL THEME.  In the end I only worked on the first named - adding further lines and shapes in charcoal and then paint.

A funny day.  I was out visiting in the morning and rescuing a cat (of all things!) in the afternoon.  I had little time to paint but did do further work MOLECULAR CRUCIFIXION.

I started the day by adding a bit of extra detailing to THREE BATHERS (a bit I forgot on Wednesday).

I then added detailing and "proto-symbols" to THE MOMENT WHEN ONE MAN BECAME MANY.  Much more to be done.

I also did some more of my little pencil landscapes while sitting next to my wife in a doctors surgery.

I worked out in my head a lot of potential artworks but didn't do a massive amount of actual painting.  I continued with THE MOMENT WHEN ONE MAN BECAME MANY, adding further symbols and detailing.  I also did a fair bit of writing.

I worked all day on a practical wildlife conservation project, when I got in I did a little more work on THE MOMENT WHEN ONE MAN BECAME MANY - not much though.

I worked for a large part of the day (domestic activities allowing!) on THE MOMENT WHEN ONE MAN BECAME MANY. I added the main thematic element: improvisational symbols which evolve when repeated.

I finished adding all the imagery to THE MOMENT WHEN ONE MAN BECAME MANY, this includes an extra section which I added today.

I then started work on another unfinished picture entitled WOMAN WITH CHILD BEHIND A DIFFUSIVE ELABORATION OF A CLASSICAL THEME, mainly redefining the original charcoal/acrylic medium lines around some of the shapes.
