Teal 16" x 16" Oil

I was wary of painting the dress. How do you mix that colour? The nearest ready made was cost prohibitive, so I went with instinct , advice from friends and internet investigation and I had a go.

It was the colour of the dress which attracted me after all, combined with that glorious red hair, Comparison here suggests too green?

Not sure if this is finished, I shall put it aside for a few days and review. It needs some refining maybe.

Catch- up.

Having not posted for ten months I thought it overdue to show a few examples of what I have been up to. With Roy needing medical treatment , and a new address to sort out, you know, new kitchen, bathroom, etc and exploring to do, I've not done much. A bit of life drawing and portraiture, a couple of selfies, and a workshop with Francis Bowyer in Southwold last week about sums it up.

This is for my Ma and my best friend, Stella, who don't see my updates on Facebook, and who I think have missed my blogging!
