Over the past 9 months I've been working on a set of ceramic 'Stations of the Cross' for St Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in Dundee. They will be on display from this Easter. I'll be chatting about the project and you can come and view and handle the pieces before they are framed, on Monday 2nd March at 6pm, St Paul's Cathedral, I High Street Dundee, DD1 1TD, do come if you are in the area.
The image shown is 'Station 8: Jesus meets the Women of Jerusalem'.

It can be quite a juggling act before it happens, with lots of layers of earlier stages. I often use a folded piece of canvas to generate texture that will create drips. In that way,  something is orchestrated early on, but I don't know what it will be until the painting is finally coming together. That was true of these three recent oils, each one is 50 x 50 cm on wooden support.

It needed one final yellow tulip, and an extra red admiral crept in too.
