It’s starting to get a bit cold in the studio with my old, partially working, radiator so I’m having to wrap up warm. However the benefit is that it slows down the drying times allowing me to blend the paints more, so not all bad.
I have just completed the above portrait of Flori who is bravely fighting on despite the vet’s diagnosis. She has such a love of life which hopefully I have managed to capture in her eyes so wish her, and her owner, all the best.
Lastly I have attached a detail of some work in progress from a new self portrait. This is a bit of an experiment for the Sky Portrait Artist competition which I have entered. Must admit this took me way longer than the four hours given so need to find a quicker method of getting the paint down on the canvas. Fingers crossed I get in, and also find a new way of working!
