On a Cold and Bright Day

My nose and cheeks were rosy red from my morning walk so thought I would settle down and cosy up in my ever expanding studio.

The Squirrels are coming along nicely,

and the Moorhens are nearly ready...


I am working on four small figures too, they are a little shy so I will post some progress when they are feeling ready for the world.

Here is the first of the three I mentioned of Anna; first started, first finished. This was the beginning of my exploration back to the more technical aspects of drawing and painting after several years of exploring other mediums; a return of my attention to light, tone, colour and composition.


I was pleased at this attenpt and welcomed the fact that I could suprise myself. On reflection now, I think that developments in how I have grown in the world in understanding and how I approach a challenge in other areas of my personal and working life, have translated themselves into my approach to painting.
