Day 2 of this . Its unorganised at present so needs time . But these are the general colours.

Thursday, 7 March 2013

Started a new one today. I swear to God if I can get through this life without making painting an intelectual exercise but rather a joyful expression like a child I would have succeeded.

Apart from the red sun which will have to dry now before i can repaint it back to green its nearly done.
one more sitting should do it.

Just managed to get 2 hrs on this today doing the hills, orange trees and the shaded shadow on the left.

Saturday, 2 March 2013


Been in the studio twice and disliked the shape and the way the painting has progressed . The town is being reshaped to be a little smaller and the distant orange groves re done. Orange trees yet to come and refined so not so rough. I can now see it is different from the others and is starting to look good.The yellow sunflowers were dampened with a little yellow ochre. There is still a way to go but when its done it`ll be worth a few bob.

After being really ill for the last week have been able to get back in the studio today and work on this.

Saturday, 23 February 2013

Worked on the sunflowers which still needs a couple of more sessions and the houses.Starting to take shape. will put more interest in the hills yet and the near distant  hills will have orange groves.

I have taken a long break from painting and have come back with a vigour to paint colour. I have been writing songs and playing in pubs and even on local radio on Danny Diamonds country hour. I am ( yes i know me me me , sorry about that)  recording a 10 track album in Russ`s studio and will publish this when I am done. Here is my comeback painting. What do you think?
