My glasses have broken. Trying to finish my girl off when I can hardly see her....

Out of the blue pops this little oil on canvas.Yes she needs work, But I like her !

Now I have finished the weeks painting I can get down to some paperwork and get some prints off.

I went over the last yellow tree because I began to dilike the high tone of the yellow so I went over it.
The next time I do a tree however I will not start with a green or yellow circle for the tree shape. Coming on.......

At last. The composition is complete and I am on the home run. Just dotting I`s and crossing T`s and finishing off now.

Painting something completely different today while I wait to see where I can improve the last painting. There are as I say some great passages but there is a lot `I`m not happy with.

Digging a hole I cant really get out of. Been very bold in making dramatic changes to try and get some life into it. Of course the canvas can`t take much more and I am flagging. Maybe we should call it a truce. The last one had a great sky and hills. Maybe I`ll put that in. the very pale blue worries me.

The Passing of Time

I love the way the passing of time helps you to see.

I can see this picture is too bland. It looks like wallpaper. So today I will create some definition.

Well its coming on. Day 4. Some of it is great others look to me a bit clinical. Once all the hard slog is done I`ll scumble out bits of the middle and rework. And add people. But pleased I have managed to keep going .

And here is the little morrocan one I Might be presenting to the at the RA judges with ten million others.Is it enough.  I`ll keep my options open . Got a few weeks yet.

Ok Day 4 and yes there are some good bits but its very wonky. Might just give it a break and start something new to keep me going.

Sold my beautiful Cornish Girl . Sad to see her go........

This is really working as an Artist. It`s almost painful. Just how it is going into work on a monday. Got to get on with it. It got so bad and messy I reverted to an old photo to get me started again.

Now my 3rd day on this. It`s the one I want for the RA .

I want to submit for the Royal Academy  summer show this year.
I havn`t done this before probably because  the rejection would have been unbearable. and because I`ve bee so busy selling work I`ve had nothing spare although the first excuse is nearer the truth.

So I`m doing a yellow tree a Moroccan painting and  and blocky takes weeks to make one.

Here is the yellow tree unfinished . The tree is bigger. And the detail on the leaves needs to be layered.
