The reveal painting

Getting on with the paint is such a wonderful thing. Enjoying it immensely and trying to ignore the fact that the light is still bad at 3.30. Oh well.

Here is the next part of the reveal painting, leave a comment :)  - lots of people have had a look but wondering if anyone has guessed it yet? 

This painting will be finished by next week (fingers crossed)

Hurrah for the promise of spring!

Such a wonderful day today and Tuesdays are favourite for a whole day painting. Windows open and even the back door for a while, with the cat lying in the sun in her usual upside-down- arms-up to get "max" sunshine, and its down to the wonderful experience of paint. So here you can see the 2nd reveal pic, working with bright red, ultramarine blue and magenta plus a little cad yellow and lots of white. I have done a lot more than these 2 pics but thought it would be fun to unravel a painting. Dont forget to check over the next coming days!

Brighton Festival paintings have begun

In earnest! Not thinking about the deadline here (May) but anyway.... Thought it might be interesting to try and do a 'reveal' of a painting. Just like Rolf Harris used to say, with a laugh in his voice 'can you see what it is yet?'. This pic is day 1, I am a little behind with each day (now on day 3) but then I have been painting!

What I love about this painting - is the size (very large), colour and well you will see! Dont forget to tweet it to others if you feel the need and revisit for the next ones :)
