The sun as a source of inspiration has led me to start a series of drawings related to the solar spectrum. This gives me a focus during the overcast days when the weather prevents capturing images outside.

work in progress - Pauline Woolley 2014 |
Often my artistic pursuit of the sun leads to such frustration that I begin to wonder why I am actually still chasing it. It's only when I leave the country to warmer climes that I feel I can gain some momentum, but even then with this process the results can be sporadic. Having spent many years in a studio painting, this method of working can leave me feeling a little disheartened. I have to remind myself that even with painting, a series of work could have taken me months. My reality is a slow building of images that are going to, for me, translate into something substantial and a leap from previous work.
