Just working on some ideas. Autumn. I bought a light box for half nothing on Ebay from China. It's a really simple but effective device that allows you to shine a bright light through an image so that you can...Read More
A Curious Mix

A Curious Mix

Posted on 29 September, 20199 October, 2019 by David Meredith
For a while I've been thinking about slate, as an alternative canvas. Wondering what it would be like to paint or draw on it. It's not the sort of stuff you find lying around, or can find on the beach....Read More

I'm conscious that I've done a few things this week that I haven't told anyone about. So this is a catch up post. There were pistachio shells ... There were the clay shapes, painted ... And packaged in an experimental...Read More

For any new visitors to this blog, my contributions to my other blog - thebreakfastblog.ie - are part of the creative project. The blog has been quiet since June and this post is shorter than usual but I needed to...Read More

Seldom, in my experience, does it happen that I have a particular thing in mind and that I manage to produce it, exactly as I envisaged it. That happened today and it pleased my no end. I have a thing...Read More

... but, to be honest, I quite like the paint job on these. Gold inside and Ferrous Oxide outside. Nice combo. They certainly look better with the tea-lights in them. This afternoon, I recorded a couple of poems. I want...Read More
Eggs Again

Eggs Again

Posted on 18 September, 20199 October, 2019 by David Meredith
It's been a while since I painted on eggs. An unexpected but welcome burst of physical and creative energy put them in mind for some reason. I thought those white flowers that I included in the last post might look...Read More
Gah!

Sometimes things just don't quite work out as well as you hope. This was always a long shot. Before, when I've tried lino cuts, I've cut away the background. What's left is what you see in the print. I've had...Read More

Productive Sunday

Posted on 15 September, 201920 October, 2019 by David Meredith
Some days, I just get in a groove. There's no accounting for why although it's usually to do with mood and having time available to do what I want to do. Yesterday I was a bit knackered and distracted, to...Read More

Short post this evening. Late night last night. Entertaining though. Part of it involved going with my college pal Jacko to the Academy on Middle Abbey Street to see PEter Hook. Peter Hook, as you may know, is the founder...Read More

In the end, it was simple. I bought the domain name, tried to transfer the site to it, failed, asked Blacknight, my hosting service, to do it, they said they could, and they did, charged me about €40 and here...Read More

My birds on a bag were received well on Instagram and I’m pleased about that. Meanwhile, I’ve started a fish on a bag. It was going to be a mackerel but it’s a bit too fat to be one now,...Read More

I’ve had an opened-out and sky-blue painted teabag lying around on my desk for ages and I haven’t been sure what to do with it. This evening I had an idea that some birds flying might be interesting. So that’s...Read More

Consuming and Doing

Posted on 8 September, 20199 October, 2019 by David Meredith
Yesterday I bought some art. Nine or ten years ago I bought a painting by Isobel Henihan. It's a lightship moored in Dun Laoghaire harbour beside the lifeboat. I loved it then and I still love it now. I particularly...Read More
