Perhaps you've seen my thread on the £64 Million for culture? bsky.app/profile/kenn... Of course, this is just one press release! Perhaps there will be additional news of more funding? Guess what? There is. But is it good news? (new thread)

I call this one ‘Purbeck’ (50x50 cms oil on canvas). I won't say any more about the title other than it seemed an obvious choice given the mark-making in the work. I never set out to paint this but what you see here is the point at which I arrived and stopped travelling.

I’m delighted to announce a collaboration with the fantastic saxophone talent Don-Paul Kahl. donpaulkahl.com/en/about The work is comprised of 19 sections, each a free-standing solo. Performances may be constructed from a combination of all or any of the solos. ‘without quiet voices’ lasts 36 mins.

50x30 cm oil on canvas. It feels as if everything I have painted in my life has led me to this point, and as ever, this most likely isn’t the destination. Is there ever a destination with painting? Perhaps paintings are ways of marking points along the journey to find one’s truest expression.

Those final, satisfying brushstrokes that tell me to stop painting. I could continue. But this point to stem the activity looks excellent and I shall follow my judgement.

This 50x50 cm oil on canvas has a sense of places I know in Scotland, that damp, rocky, turbulent scantily wooded terrain I have walked in. #modernart #contemporaryart #abstractart #painting #artgallery #fineart #abstract #artcollector #abstractpainting #contemporarypainting #artforsale #oilpainting

Thrilled to be a contributor to this new book, which stems from a desire to recontextualise the harpsichord, bringing it to the forefront of 21st-century musical discourse through collaborations with many performers and composers. www.visionedition.com/publication/...

In the studio yesterday. New beginnings and new adventures in colour, texture and form. Not finished but on the way, keeping that spontaneity going.

Wrapped up warm as I tidy the studio ready for making new work. That’s the easy bit. Making the new work is rather more daunting. I’ll keep you posted about how I get on. Today saw a solid start. Excited and a little bit scared to see where it all leads. Finger’s crossed.

Many of you have joined recently. (Hi!) I'd love it if you could follow my page for my chamber opera Jan Tait and the Bear, which we are trying to turn into an animated film (with Greenlight Creative, Clubhouse Animation, Meilo So and Ensemble Thing).

Re-sharing this post from 2 years ago. Wish I could say things have improved, but those in a position to improve things don't seem to have any intention of doing so. kennethwoods.net/blog1/2023/0...

It’s great to have had a recent uptake of musician followers. To get a head of steam on here we need more connectivity, more postings, comments, discussions, recordings and score shots. The more of us connect, the more we build a vibrant community free from X and FB/Insta. Let’s call this home!

@ilanvolkov.bsky.social Excellent to see you here, Ilan. It’s very quiet at the moment on Bluesky but I’m hoping it will get musically noisier soon. At least there’s no adds and the nutters seem thinner on the ground than elsewhere! Warm Welcome!
