Ethics Underpainting, Bunbury, Salome Rehearsal 3

A few busy days. Completed the underpainting to Ethics in a Time of Revolution yesterday, then, in the evening, went to St. Boniface, Bunbury for the Inspire 22 festival. The art was really good, and the church itself an amazing monument. Each century has made its mark upon it, and I loved the 1450s-era oil paintings in the church.

The room was overwhelmed with flowers, the thick scent of lilies dominated the space like no other exhibition I've attended. It made me think of the power of scent.

Today, a third rehearsal for the Salomé event.

The next week is due to be record-breaking in heat. The Bunbury collection is on the hottest day, so we'll try to keep cool as we travel. I'm unsure what to do on that day... making Salomé masks sounds like a good idea as the heat will help dry the plaster.
