Painting.......or not.


Siblings  20" x 16"   Oil
 
I have finished this commission,  just in time for Christmas, and really hope the recipient likes it and think she has a wonderful brother to think of such a lovely gift. Can't believe I started this back in September!
 
So.....I have been painting, a little, but, I confess I have turned my attention elsewhere....back to my first love...sort of. When I was 17 I wanted to be Michelangelo! I wanted to have created 'David' and 'Pieta' but real life took over and I have never, or ever shall, have the wherewithall to realise such ambition. But carve wood I can do, or at least I can try. My efforts are not for public scrutiny as yet...but don't go away!

Wonderful. It turned out great. Now come to my studio and wrap up My Guys. :-) the pain of that awaits my return.

J'ai hâte de pouvoir admirer vos sculpture sur bois.

Gros bisous.
