You may well ask because it’s quite a while since I last posted. In the meantime I’ve being painting away… or more precisely painting and repainting the picture as I have done a lot of getting the painting up to a certain point, messing it up, painting over a large portion and starting again.

See the running water!

I made more headway with the picture of the stream last night. Above you can see the progress. I am really enjoying this painting. My feeling that I needed to do something more energetic was right. I am really getting into laying the paint down freely – no washes, no fine brushes – just daub [...]
