What's going on

I've given up on the rework of "Evening in the South of France" for a while, as it wasn't working out for me. Instead, at my wife's request, I'm working on a flower painting for the bedroom. That'll teach me not to redecorate!

I won't be taking part in the 2011 Surrey Artists Open Studios, as I don't really have enough new work to show. I'd also like to make my garage more suitable for showing paintings on a regular basis, so some work is required there.

I'm also reframing a picture belonging to my Sister-in-Law. I made the original frame but it recently fell off the wall and smashed. That means a new frame of about 3'x2', mount and glass.

Work in progress

Well, here's where I'm up to with the bedroom picture. It's on a 20x16 inch board and in oils.

Under starter's orders!

She Who Must Be Obeyed tells me that I'm going to paint this picture (for the bedroom). I know my place :-)

Is this blog really worth it?

I'm seriously considering abandoning this blog. I don't get round to updating it often enough and I suspect that it doesn't'...
