Above: Scribbled heads and notes on installing artworks in a three dimensional space and how it alters them. Husb and I visited the Keith Bayliss exhibition at the Mission Gallery again today for a talk by the artist.

I’m not a natural born painter – I like scribbling and printmaking but I’ve recently been going over to the dark side and experimenting with paint, with varying success.
