Well I've finally finished the Natasha painting this week. I'll order the materials for frame tomorrow then it should all be ready for delivery next weekend. Posting this from the pub, so I'm going back to my pint now...will post a new experiment I'm working on very soon. :-)

Silky smooth...

The two original frames have been sanded and water polished...silky smooth now :-) in the background are three more sample pieces, each of these is using a different profile of moulding, so I should have a nice little selection once they're all done.

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...

Shop building part 1

The commission I’ve been working on was delivered earlier this week and the Studio looks very empty now all the paintings have gone; it was packed this time last week :) I’m now moving onto converting the Gallery room into a more inviting shop space(soon to be called ‘The Cuckoos Nest’) . The first job is building the carcases for the shelves…I’ll keep posting as I go, so you can see how it develops. :)

studio stuff

Last week was all about the framing side of things. Went out and bought the remaining kit I need and then build a great big framing bench…all done now, so I will be back to some actual painting this week I promise ;)

A new toy...

No painting today as I’ve been reorganising the area at the back of the studio to make space for this new beast…a framing guillotine, super clean joints and super heavy to move about… all done now though, so proper work tomorrow :)
