the day after term ended I went to London to see some exhibitions, mostly in preparation for the spring term. As always I went to the national gallery to see their early renaissance collection….and was totally blown away with the amazing beauty. And what colours are most used…blueredgold!

MUSIC ….. its not just about visual inspiration

music forms an important part of my inspiration, artists/musicians create feeling and mood in their music and this can have a substantial effect on how I react in the studio. this week I was listening too;

bonnie prince billy;Agnes queen of sorrow

gang gang dance; Eye contact

Nusrat fateh Ali;

Felt; forever breathes the lonely world

Vini Reilly; sporadic recordings

I will keep adding to the list of music as I use it in the studio. Any recommendations !!!!

Lanyon painted it after one of his many glider flights where he would experience first hand the movements of air above the surface of the earth, the power and strength of nature and the fact that we cannot control it but can only control ourselves within it.
