From the heart ,still working






I know it s been an age since I put up anything .It s not that I have nt been working ,just been a bit busy with selling my house and finding another ,and also felt rather low ,when I feel low I get inertia so all goes quiet .Anyway here is some of the stuff l ve been trying to finish and two portraits ,one a commission and the other a painting of Max ,my brother in law who died on tues night ,he was a good man .The three paintings were a commision from a friend to paint her husband for his 65 th birthday ,l felt the one was not enough to capture him so did three for the price of one instead

getting back to it






it s been so long since I have updated my blog I forgot my password and how to do it . Having returned from NZ nearly 20 days,I had to get straight into housework and art work !!A deadline of today for a painting to be entered for a competition,well we'll see if anything comes of it . I am a bit more confident now with my experience in NZ to think for it .I have left about 12 paintings in NZ ,8 in a gallery(inspirit gallery ) and the rest with my buddies at Eggsentric (oh dear,I miss them so ) So here are some photos of those left behind .

some portraits




I thought it might be an idea to put up some of my portraits in a separate part of my blog so they can be seen and added to if and when I get more commissions!

2009 going on


Time continues to rush by and l am still changing ever changing ;enter the dark night ,l like it s dencity and intencity it s such a strange thing this creativity lark ,when is a painting finished >> when it s finished !! Picasso said that to finish a painting is to kill it >>
