Painting not painting

Continuing on my quest to practice my rusty landscapes,

I started another one.

I chose a field system above Malham,

to make me concentrate

on stone walls and grasses 

However, after a rather damp and dreary autumn,

the summerhouse developed rather wet corner.

So, after a quick shuffle of the desk and workbench

and an intense investigation to find the offending weak point,

all potential rain ingress has been halted!

But painting tomorrow might be at home rather than in the studio.

Hope your Monday

is a little less damp that mine!!

Bit rusty - but enjoying the process.

I am fed up with this bleugh weather!

C'mon! Where IS the SUN?!

Any hoo - on a different note, I am still getting on with my latest commission :)

And talking of commissions,

there is still just time to order a bespoke

commissioned piece of art

for that 'hard to buy for person' in your life :)

A little music goes a long way

Started this stag Friday afternoon,

another card design.

 At this point,

although happy with the painting,

I was not happy with how it appeared .....

something was missing.

 So, I added a little music,

And now I (and the stag)

are really happy :) 

Going a little (happily) nuts

From the windows of my studio,

I overlook a bird table.

I keep a list of the birds that visit 

and they tend to be the normal garden birds

(not that I am complaining!)

However, when a nuthatch

graced my garden

I did a little dance of joy

Which, of course made it fly off.

Silly me.

Any hoo, the temptation of food

made it return,

and return and return and return.

Often enough to take photos

and

for me to paint. 

Happy happy x 

Just need finish it,

get it mounted,

then it is ready for it's forever home :)
