Oh! This picture is becoming such a pain........

Been chipping away at this. There` something really bugging me and I cant put my finger on it yet. Its either the second emerging figure or the way the boat slants

And this is how it starts

Had two letters through today asking me if I would like to Exhibit in London . So I`m going to be busy.

Typical artists dilemma, Its the end of the month and I`ve run out of Cadmium's so have to resort to plan B until such times. Even Van Gogh had this problem,

And this is how it starts....

Started a new Sunflowers today for a show in London coming up.

Will put lots of attention to detail on this. 2nd sitting

This large dark painting has been winking at me again so have picked it up after loosing interest because of its dark colours. I do like these . going to carry on with this. 

This is a small painting that I am working on the background. 

Villa Joyosa.

                Push push push push stop push push push

Well its going ok.. In the cold light of day when I photograph I can see work still needs doing especially getting some undulating depth in the grass. The cows are looking good. MOOOOOOO !

I`m putting in more detail !!!! and more     and more 

Finished. !!!!!!

I am that close to finishing this but the top right landscape is calling me to do something so I have, I`ve added pinks and oranges and I am and now I am going to leave it till the morning to decide whether to put in orange trees. Will have it photographed soon. There are some super bits in it it really is lovely.

Nearly done..One more session

It was my sons birthday today. He is 18 and off to Uni in Bristol soon so no work today.
Happy Birthday Sam

Getting fuller in colour and composition. I`ve changed the Melon to a pink flesh and putting detail in the orange groves. Something I think looks really effective. Unashamedly Naive and colourfully  joyfull. Definitely not following any fashion.
