Working in oils today,small pictures .A nice change from acrylic .

Having a lazy day today. No painting no  pressure ,a bit of cleaning,

 

Finished at Last/!! Phew....

 

Another day slowly chipping away carving out the image. 

 

Getting to a good stage with this. Soon I`ll have to take down the whites by scumbling over them and giving it a glazed feel. The design is very pleasing. 

 

I started this the day before yesterday and today I have been able to forge ahead. I am so enjoying doing these .This is a different take with the cool Marrakech Hotel pool in the middle. Whenever I am in Marrakech there is always a nice cool pool to dive into to refresh from the dust and heat .

 

Its great when you know you are on the home straight. 

 

Been working on this in the background.  Coming on...

 

Marrakech

Friday and the bulk of the work is done. Still lots to do to make sure all the detail looks firm. 

I do really love doing these. 

Three little video`s of the opening at St Junien

Sorry not to have posted for a while. It was very hard to upload stuff abroad. Anyway I have been to St Junien in the South of France for the Internationale Bienalle of Art Naif. We were looked after really well with a special procession through the town led by a band. Then a speech by all the important people and then a buffet ,then lunch with wine , then a jazz band  and on it went for two days. Completely pooped now. The organisers  Celine,Lisa and Amel with so good to us we were spoilt. Image below.
