Nice to pop into The Old Hall Bookshop, Looe and see my print for sale at the weekend.

Delighted that my commission painting arrived safely in New Zealand. I tried out the Fast drying Acyrla Oil paints. I like them but you need a well ventilated studio.

I have been working on reduction linoprints recently. I have definitely learned a lot on this one.
1) difficult to retrieve areas which haven't covered well. Especially as the ink gets deeper. This was 8 layers. I think I might invest in a sanding block.
2) you can't fudge areas. The bollard definitely needs more definition.
3) Must be more careful. I lost a bit of rope somewhere in proceedings
4) little writing is really really tricky!

So exciting to see my work displayed in a venue which means so much.

I've not posted much art recently but I thought I would share this acrylic I just finished. I worked it up quickly in Mum's back garden in Looe. So not quite Plein air but almost!
It looks s of Fowey from Polruan the day after the fete and scarecrow festival. (Pirate scarecrow in evidence in the garden on the right!)

https://etsy.me/3dLZBP7 Delighted to have delivered this of the today. So lovely to paint pictures of places which I love but are also dear to my customers. Particularly at the moment when we can’t always get to our special places.
