I've been working on this for a couple of months, and finished it yesterday an hour before a visit from the framer. It's my first attempt at a still life, for competition entry in a few days' time...
It measures 100x70cm, or slightly more including the frame.
I am struggling to take a good photograph of the painting, so here's one too dark and one too bright!

'Auntie' - painting in progress
Still some way to go, but she looks a bit like herself already...

In Progress - David Sylvian
Stage One of my 'start rough' process. The composition will differ from the source photograph in random small ways, which I can keep, erase or exaggerate. |

New work with the brush - and brush-pen.
Work In Progress: 'Charlie Russell No. 3' 24x30", acrylic on canvas. |
Brush-pen sketch: 'Two Women'. One pen to do all these different lines and filling-in? Amazing. And it cuts the usual drawing time by half. |
A fast sketch in ink and chalk of a glass head wearing a hat by Dorothy Biddle, in her recent retrospective exhibition at Althorpe Gallery, Leamington Spa. |
Thanks for viewing and reading ;)

A new painting - 'Now' - October 2012
'Now' - October 2012'
Acrylic and ink on canvas, Oct 2012
The biggest canvas I have painted so far, and something of a breakthrough. For a while I have been hoping to bridge my abstract drawing and figurative painting; this feels like a step in that direction.
It is the result of a series of accidental or automatic decisions. It was not planned, but a lot of thought went into it as I was going along. It is an attempt at painting an image 'of the times'.

Paintings In Progress
Here are three current paintings. They are getting bigger...
Neil. The original is more muted. This painting is 90% finished. |
I don't know the name of this pond, but it's a local scenic spot. Yes, I will straighten the horizon. |

New drawing, new painting, new art.
In 2012 I have renewed my commitment to art.
...more on that soon!
A recent extra surprise has been a change in my drawing practice. I am now using a brush-pen, which bridges drawing and painting.
Here is a series of new drawings. It's not hard to see a difference from my earlier work on this blog.
