The Infinite Tiredness of Ageing


The Infinite Tiredness Of Ageing, Oil on panel, 236x336mm.

I've been scanning in a few recent pictures and this is one, a picture about time passing. I hope the picture hasn't influenced me too much because today I've been very tired! Despite a long sleep I've found it very hard to think of anything but rest and have been fighting fatigue all through the day of painting. Earlier in the week I spontaneously fell asleep during my afternoon break. This concerns me because I've been eating and resting well. Perhaps this is due to relaxation itself, an unusual state for my electric self.

Anyway, in other news I've just heard that my other painting "The Transmittance Of Pity Falsely Perceived As Love Through A One Way Mirror" has been accepted into the R.B.S.A. Prize exhibition, which I'm pleased about. I've now submitted four pictures to the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and I've been lucky enough to have at least one chosen each time. The show runs from June the 3rd to the 26th, in the R.B.S.A. Gallery, near St. Paul's Church, Birmingham.
