A happy, but tired artist.... :-)

Painting finished

Here are the paintings drying in the sunshine, they've just had the final layer of painting done...

Here I am getting ready for the final resin layer, note the new face mask. Now I sound like Darth Vader as I sing along to the radio...

I also managed to cut all the frames for the paintings today, I'll start assembling them tomorrow. :-)

Darkening up the colours

I've had a very busy week framing, so only got onto painting this afternoon. Luckily it was a productive afternoon :-) I've started darkening up 4 of the pieces, I'll try and work on the other 3 early in the mornings next week and hopefully all will then be ready for the first coat of resin before next weekend. It's going to be a very busy couple of weeks in the run up to the exhibition.... :-)

Finished the red layer...

These are the last three paintings drawn and painted with the red layer. I've got a couple of days working on the framing side of things now, so I'll begin darkening all of them from Monday onwards...
