Portrait: Edna

This was my effort for this weekend.  I have had a number of portraits sitting round ready to be finished, so now I am trying to get to them, one by one.

Oil on board...

Portrait works in progress

Back again.. twice in one day. Has to be a record I promised to post some WIPs of the portraits I am working on. enuff said. here they are; 1) Claudia No. 1 2) Claudia No. 2 3) Ania 4) Zoe 5) Me Mum.... I'll post the final paintings when I get them finished Bye for now Pete

Its been such a long time

Wow.. I had a look at my blog today and realised its nearly 6 months since I wrote anything.. Isn't that crap.. whats worse is that I haven't lifted a brush since beginning of January. You see, I took a real job.. and the problem with real jobs is they take a lot of your time.. the upside of course is that they pay real money :) Now, i'm being told by my landlord that they are renovating the top floor of the shops where I have my studio space... and that I am going to lose my studio. I don't know what I am going to do now... the combination of no studio and a real job is making it difficult to paint, so it looks like 2009 is going to be one of those years.. bleak on the painting front.. I will let you all know what I decide. Also.. I have a bunch of paintings that are partially completed.. will post the WIP I promide to come back more often Pete
