Welcome to the Cotymog Shed Blog
Colourful words along artful lines. Welcome to my blog, where I'll be sharing news, stories, and insights into the world of Cotymog Shed. Here you'll find updates straight from the studio and garden, tales from the past, and a peek into the inspiration behind my art.
WARNING: As the editor is a bit of a muggins, ie not very techie, you may find some repetition and deviation, but little hesitation, on these pages…
Fresh News from the Studio
I plan to bring you fresh news here, straight from the studio, the garden, and my suppliers, as well as stories from the past, ancient and modern... in fact, anything I think you might be interested in.
At the moment, the focus seems to be on Christmas. It was in my head this morning when going into the studio and vanished as all the usual stuff rushed to the surface. And so it goes- there’s no point in forcing things up which don’t want to come. Tomorrow is another day…..
Art, Books, and stuff
I mentioned Art, Books, and stuff. Well, for us, stuff encompasses other things, including food and film. I only mention that because, this weekend, my friend Maggie opted, as her birthday treat, to go with me to see The Roses.
Never heard of it? Well, Please Don’t be put off by the extremely unenlightening publicity for what turned out to be the funniest and most horrific film since 4 Weddings… word battles, word games, word works and words working. Loved it!
It really was good fun. And so was Saturday’s last night at the Proms. Such a colourful, fun, funky, and moving finale. Made me really happy to be British. I’m determined not to be put off by Sunday’s protests, with all their dark and menacing over-and under-tones, and concentrate on Light and Love, for a change!
A World of Artful Themes
I hope to draw you into my world, where we can explore together some of the themes which concern me, as artist, crime and historical fiction lover, ceramics collector, knitter, cook, sewer( as in someone who sews…), but mainly Art!
