I Wish...

I've just relaunched this beautiful little book. It's only £5 and it's for anyone who wishes they could paint, or draw, or create things like an artist or wants to nurture talent in their children or grandchildren.

And for those who wish they were more inspired, motivated and could climb out of their creative block.

See it on my gallery where you can buy it quickly too, with no delivery problems! (It is much smaller than 1MB).

Written and designed by yours truly, with sumptuous illustrations...

My Biggest Canvas Yet

Using a roller and my new printer roller for the pink contrast, I've been experimenting on a large canvas with my favourite 'five brush strokes' figure. Alas, it didn't really work out on the large scale (but I had fun finding out) and I'm now happily covering it with textures and colours galore to turn the painting into something I really like.

Seated Nude

This isn't finished but I like the way it's coming along so I'm letting the oils harden in readiness to give it the fine, final touches.

Library Display

Here is a photo of my library display which I'll be taking down today. (Sorry about the reflections of houses across the road.)

It was a surprise opportunity as I saw the window was empty and went in to ask ... a few hours later I received a phonecall to say I could use it for the whole of December.

As far as I know, at least one of these pictures has sold. :-)
