Finished

Next time paint all in first in big shapes and then draw on top. If I start with the drawing I get involved with the detail. I have saturated the colours here in Photoshop and will leave this picture for now.

Colour and light; WIP

This is a scan as I left this to late to photo as SueC suggested. I stabbed myself on the side of my head with a large steel ruler which was sticking out when digging for pens. Does this make it an industrial injury? I am fine now but it stopped work for the day.

Abbey Street; WIP

I am frustrated with the scanning as I can not get it to show the subtle tonal values!

Abbey Street

Thank you all for the good wishes you sent me. My voice still does not work ... first thing in the morning it takes some effort to even get it to squeak!

Work on this picture has speeded up but there is still away to go. If you click to enlarge there is a dead bug in front of the lady's face. I've now taken glass cleaner to the scanner ... now!

Feeling better?

I can only speak in whispers but work has started again. Showing you a tiny portion for now!

Abbey Street

Abbey Street in Eynsham has some very pretty cottages on one side and on the other nose to tail cars are parked. These are some ideas about a new painting.
