Our home is doubling as an art gallery. There are currently 7 canvases on display, not all finished, but good to view. Number eight is awaiting inspiration.
We calculate that we can hang about 25 paintings in this room…..then we will have to start in the bedroom. Given that Gek has been painting for about 8 weeks, ie 1 painting / week, we are soon going to run out of walls. We are working on a project to have a jiont exhibition in UB of Gek’s paintings and my photographs. After the event we will auction the works to raise money for the Lotus Children’s Centre. We will have a website from which you can make pre-auction bids. Those children need help.
Gek and I have stumbled on a strange way of working together. Gek paints in layers of colour, very thin layers of colour. When a digital photograph is taken of an image and enhanced by the computer, some of the layers reappear and rather beautiful effects are created. 
Two examples are show here. Even better, these “altered” images affect Gek’s subsequent approach to the painting. Hummmmm…….interesting!!!!!!
