Months ago, I bought a job lot of 10 7" x 5" block canvases. I only really needed one of them, but as it happened they were on offer....
So having painted the one which I'd been commissioned (as it were; brother's birthday present, in fact) to do, I then had another 9 canvases to paint; and whether my eyesight's got worse, or whether it just wasn't a great idea to start with, I don't know: but it's been a bit of a struggle just to see the blessed things.
Anyway! I've painted the very last one - you can see all three of the last tranche on my Facebook page, but for those of you who wouldn't go on Facebook if paid in gold bars, here's one of them.
It's a rather summery painting for this time of year, but it's so grey and dreary outside that I wanted something with a bit more colour.
And - Stop Press - my e-book, now titled Oil Paint Basics, has now been made available for the Kindle, and is available from Amazon UK. I also have some work on show in a new café in Upper High Street, Ryde IW: unfortunately - I don't know the name of the café... Ryde isn't the easiest place to get to from here. But there can't be that many up there, so should you be in the vicinity, take your cheque book for a nice walk, cup of tea, slice of cake, and a painting to take home. You know you want to. You do. No, really - you do.

Hi Robert, Your latest painting certainly brightens the day.
ReplyDeleteThe weatherman said the snow would melt today. Spring is not too far away I hope.
Will have to find that cafe next time I visit the IOW.
All the best
