Another rejection. I try and do good, work hard, tick the boxes. I have had so much rejection that I can almost pretend I don't care. It doesn't stop me but It would be nice to have some real help. . It does hurt every time. Especially when you see lots of other people around you getting accepted. I think I'm getting better each time. I hope so at least. Just gonna #keepartit . This one felt good to paint. Art always has and does make me feel better. .

I haven't painted a yoga person for a while but when I saw my beautiful wife @n_gbk doing this pose this morning in the sunlight, I was completely inspired. She continues to inspire and support me in ways I never imagined while at the same time impressing me every day with her strength and intelligence. .

What Else There's a sandpit, With infinite potential. What else do you need, When you're three. Sunshine and slides, Ice cream and apple juice. What else do you need, When you're three. There's a monster truck toy, Many aged girls and boys. What else do you need, When you're three. I'll take some of that simplicity, That joie de vivre. What else do you need, When you're free. . #newpoem #poem #poetry #poet #playground #parenthood #kids #children #innocence #freedom #icecream #family #familytogether #free #child #childhood #magic (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CODUutCnaAW/?igshid=rzrbyagblaeg

As we move into spring in full, I've been very aware of light and daytime. Dial was inspired by light and form. Made during my @keepartit residency at the @galleriesbristol, I'm thrilled to share this work as a sign of hope and renewal. Dial: Mixed media on aluminium: 68 X 60 X 28 cm: 2021: Douglas Karson . Thanks to @cackaryhawthorn and @vivid_texture for your help executing this vision. . You can buy it from Keep art it or @wesingulart directly to have a fantastic piece and support the work we are doing. . #art #artist #brush #brushes #aluminum #metal #metalart #newart #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN5IacFHOOC/?igshid=1q8dlse7ayz9x

I love when the 🌈 hits this piece in the spring\summer. It's one of the reasons I love making 3D wall mounted sculptures. The light and shadows means they are unique to look at hour to hour. Just finished a new piece yesterday with some awesome help from @vivid_texture. Will post next week. #uniqueartobject #uniqueartworks #brush #brushes #rainbow #rainbows #sculptureart #sculpture #light #shadow (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNwk9vxnt0F/?igshid=1nbmqkcp4x74t

2020 and 2021 have felt like a time of extremes. Every emotion exacerbated by the overwhelming pressure of lockdown and the unbearable strain of constant vigilance against Covid. . We've all lost so much. . This piece feels like a reflection of that back and forth between hope and despair. . One thing I know. No matter where you are, we must keep going. . Thanks to the @keepartit team and @thegalleries centre for enabling me the space to explore some of these ideas. . Back and Forth: Wall Mounted Sculpture by Douglas Karson: mixed media on board: 2021: 20 X 80 X 12cm You can get the piece on @wesingulart Or through www.keepartit.org . #brushes #rules #art #newart #chillart #balance #balanced #sculpture #uniqueartobject #uniqueartworks #uniqueart #sculptureart #wallart #dak #dakartist #thisismywork #newwork #fuckcovid #fucklockdown #fuck2020 #fuck2021 (at Galleries Bristol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMezPagHatA/?igshid=1fymogswth9b3

Playing with materials while my main painting kit is at @galleriesbristol for the @keepartit residency. . Last night I really needed to spend some time creating. Love the feel of the @crayola @crayola_uk paint sticks. It's like painting with lipstick 💄 💋. Very freeing and good combo with the @dalerrowney1783 acrylic ink. . Flower A2 (594 X 420 mm). Paint stick and acrylic on @clairefontaineuk natural paper. 2021. . #artplay #newart #artonpaper #residency #artistresidency #artinterview #artinhome #arthome #homeart #interior #interiordesign #beauty #beautiful #shareart #shareartists #art #artist #lockdownuk (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZsoicHmPO/?igshid=1cb2zmcfhfgy
