Work in progress

It`s been really cold in the studio the last couple of days so have been working on the business side of being an artist by spending time on the website and contacting galleries. Its one of those things that has to be done, paperwork too..

Still working on this subject. I must make a trip to Marrakech soon!. 42 x42 cm. The pool needs some more work . With Christmas coming up and most of my paintings wisked off to various London Galleries I can now concentrate on something new. 

So with that in mind here we go..... . 

 

And this little painting is going to Thompsons Gallery in Alderburgh. 

 

Getting to be a bit of a habit these. Really loving doing them they are so much fun.

 

Just finished this unusual shaped painting.

I really like the orange and yellow birds at the top. 

 

Well its been a real struggle and I am going to have to get some kind of better lighting and maybe a medium sized magnifier for some of the details that I can just swing over while I am at my easel. My eyes have definetly been affected by this last relapse. I dont know if they will improve although I am hopefull. It did last time.  ASt vtimes I could hardly see the tip of my brush. 

 

Well I had a relapse of my NMO or Devics and my left eye has been affected . Iv` bee given a massive dose of steroids to get me through it for one week only so they are giving it a blast. 

It is a wee bit harder for me to see what I am painting and yesterday I struggled to see the end of the brush. 

I`m going in to the studio today to do  another marrakech but bigger so I can see the painting. 

 

Going to take you through day by Day. This is the first 10 minute mock up.

 

Well they have all gone off to Galleries and Yes another one. 

Its not a brilliant photo and has lost some top and bottom from the image when I cropped it .There is more detail and motifs in this . Spent two weeks on this one. Not quite done yet but ever so close. 

 

3/4 `s of the way through ,Marrakech
