Been working on this Spanish Landscape. This is the 3rd day. Not sure about the line at the bottom Mid left there is some superb work. Its a very oily affair ,glossy and sumptous

I`m really loving this commission for laura. Although I may change the colour of the Sun. I`ve worked a bit more on the sunflowers and that little extra really paid off. I can still do a bit more too. Theres also a bit of landscape on the left  middle I may change.

We`ll I`m not going to crack open the Champagne just yet with this . The Boat and Sea are far too light however there really are some great bits of painting in this.  Its really looking good.

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.

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

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.
