Writing a blog post is on my to-do list and, as I have just had some work come in, it seems best to do it now. I have been having a clearing my mind day before I am trapped at my desk for a while. Working is always easier to do with a clearer head.
This has mostly just meant posting a reel on Instagram, checking to see what I need to do to visit Cuba in a few months (yes, I am going to Cuba!) and putting a new painting up for sale.
I am not entirely sure the new painting is completely finished. It seems like it might need an extra focus, either in the form of a sun or some birds, either in the sky or on the fence (the birds that is, not the sun!). I thought I may as well share it as is for the moment, and go from there. After all, if someone wants to buy it as is, that has to be a good thing. I have also just had another commission request approved, this time of Yosemite, so I am looking forward to seeing what view they want me to paint. It should be a good one!
In the meantime, here is the new, possibly finished, possibly not painting:
It is of Widbrook Common, which is a twenty minute walk from my house and a view I see often!
