Screw your courage to the sticking place. So says Lady Macbeth to her hubby. “And we’ll not fail,” she adds. She’s referring to murder to advance their careers. I’m thinking experimentation in the studio.
This year I’m working with courage to try new things. (Mostly successful.) Recently I’ve agonized a bit (okay, a fair bit) and played a lot. Also given myself Lady Macbeth-like pep talks. I’ve worked, reworked, stepped back, loved the work and hated it in turns.The result is a five-part series called Dreamscape which, I have to say, I’m kinda keen on.
Hope we’ll have a happier ending than the Scottish play.

I like your dreamscapes. They may have caused you agony, but I think you also had some fun putting them together.

Thanks, Yvonne for starting the day with Shakespeare’s words and your take on it. Loved it all! How interesting it is to work and rework the same idea. #443 & #444 particularly speak to me. Also telling me to go back to the bard when down.

Play is wonderful! I particularly like green and gold for to me there is a sense of mystery in these two.

Yes, why the stairs, etc.? (I don’t know, they just wanted to be there.)
