Happy 2016 to you all! My year’s getting off to a busy start with 11 paintings on the go at once. Some are as large as beer mats, others a meter square, so an exciting and varied challenge. You may wonder why I don’t focus on one painting at a time and bring this to a conclusion before starting another? Here I’m working with oil paint and building up the paintings in layers. As oil paint is slow drying I move on to another painting as one is drying otherwise there’d be a whole lot of waiting around. Shown here are 5 paintings all at an early stage.
