I Saw the the Crescent - part 7

There’s a lot of skin tone to be painting on this, so another day working on that today. It’s coming along well and Emma is starting to emerge from the canvas, a couple more shades to go on and then the balancing and highlights will be all that’s left… :)

flesh tones...

Todays progress...:-)

I Saw the Crescent - part 3

Several people over at the studio today, so only got a little bit of painting done, but it’s all going well. Drawn the moon in, so it’s definitely called ‘ I Saw the Crescent…’ now :)

Might now be titled - part 2

More work on the first colour today, the hair took a while and there’s more to do on the chair before I move onto the next colour.
I’m leaning towards having a small moon up in the sky, so it might get titled ‘I Saw the Crescent’…

Currently Untitled - Part 1

Finished the drawing and started on the first stage of painting on this piece today. I haven’t settled on a title yet, will depend on what I have her looking up at…might be a bird…might be the moon…I’m in two minds :) The canvas is square. The model is Emma.

In Dreams You're Mine - I - Finished

All finished...:)

In Dreams You're Mine - I - part 2

I’ve finished the second colour on the figure & bench & started drawing in the feathers. I need to continue with the feathers & paint the face & hand tomorrow…if I can get that done I should be able to get the gold on Saturday and then It’ll be done…

Artweeks 2011 draws to a close, next stop Meller in August...

Well Artweeks comes to an end on Monday (If you haven’t been over yet, I’m open tomorrow 1-6 & Monday 12-6 ;)) Things have gone very well, lots of visitors, good sales & some excellent feedback on the paintings, particularly the latest pieces, which is great, all in all a very productive month :) If you’re one of the people who came over and inquired about the latest paintings which I said would be going to the Meller Gallery in June, they’ll now be going in August, but they’ll be more of them (keep looking in here to see the extra additions) I’ll post when I know the exact date and which of their galleries they’ll be in (Oxford, Witney or both).

As you can see from the photo I’ve started on the latest piece ‘In Dreams You’re Mine – I’ and primed several canvases ready for the August Meller show paintings…Lots of work to do :)

Dreaming of you - Finished

All done...lots more to paint for August...more on that later....

'Dreaming of you - I' Part 1

I’ve started on this new piece over the weekend ‘ Dreaming of you – I’, there may, or may not be a dandelion flower floating about her…I haven’t decided yet :) The model is Rebecca.

Waiting for the Right One - I - Finished

Another long day today, but that’s meant I’ve finished ‘Waiting for the Right One – I’.
I’m really pleased with this one, the best picture I’ve painted for a few years I think…I wanted something that was beautiful as an image, while having a very personal meaning to me & a flexible meaning to viewers in general…I think I’ve got much closer to that aim than I have for a while…hope you like it & find something within it that speaks to you…

Waiting for the Right One - I - part 3

Late night opening for Artweeks, so 11 hours in the studio today…knackered now, but I got a lot done :) I’ve finished the second tone on ‘Waiting for the Right One I’ & painted her face, so just the hands & Gold to go…
