WIP Currently working on simplifying shapes and marks in oil – I keep overworking…so painted the dogs (a lot) yesterday and then wiped and repainted the landscape watercolour from Sunday into oil. When I get a wet paint brush in my hand (with watercolour or ink) my painting process kicks in automatically and the brush …
My office/studio/storage space now has had an overdue tidy up. Living in here is a rather special childhood friend of mine who was happy to sit for me! Well – maybe more of a reclined pose…

[wpvideo xePN9FMN ]This picture says it all – probably my busiest Hampshire Open Studios days ever for me yesterday. This is my 6th year. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME.
