Back in the saddle

Well, it's been an interesting 6 months here on Planet Triggol.  I was just getting into it all - sketches, ideas, works in progress and then...........bang! The disc in my back slips again together with the added complication of being pregnant and unable to take painkillers of any note.  The solution - A single bed in the living room, a zimmer with wheels on the front for the 15m trip to the toilet (average speed of 0 miles an hour - average time to do distance - 5 mins!) and basically lying flat on my back for 6 weeks.  I wouldn't recommend it.
Anyway, pleased to say that all is well with the pregnancy and painting is well and truly back on the agenda.
I'm working towards an exhibition in December in Clevedon at the Toll House.  I have to plan it like a military operation due to the loss of painting time and inspiration!
Painting wise, not a lot is new today.  The web site will eventually be live I would say before the end of August - just a few last minute tweaks - it will be www.naomitriggol.com
I thought I would just add a few of the images of prints that are the most popular.  Two of these originals are batiks, painted in wax with the old knitting needle!  One is oil on paper.
Watch out for the Trig-etches of Bristol, Clevedon and Bath.
