Hello I Have Moved
In May I moved from my lovely cottage in Upwey which is a village on the busy coast route to Weymouth.
I have now moved inland to a quiet Dorset village at the edge of a forest and heathland. It really is a Thomas Hardy village far from the madding crowds.
I’ll soon have a studio to work in though for now I’m having to make do with the kitchen table so I've been getting on with some small paintings. Having felt very disrupted during the move, stressed is an understatement! I wasn’t sure where to start with a new series of paintings so for now I have been re visiting my old haunts by inventing mostly from memory.
Purbeck and Cornwall are places which I am still so connected to, so there is obviously a certain amount of nostalgia in reworking a subject that I have so much love for, some of the happiest times in my life. The best memories of my beautiful dogs, great friendships and at last feeling totally at one with my surroundings, it was a time of great freedom.
It will take me time to absorb my new surroundings, I can’t be rushed and anyway I still have much disruption for the next few months whilst the studio is being built.
I am very happy with my new cottage, I love the peace and quiet here.
I'll keep you all posted.
Teresa
