Day 8,9,10 and 11

Not doing too well, not because I haven't been painting but haven't had chance to post a blog!!

I have managed one big painting which has a bit of a story to it (don't they all!!) and a few small studies.

I am taking some paintings to be scanned for printing... prompted finally by the sale of a favourite painting which has not yet been collected so I have chance to get it scanned. I have known about this particular gallery for some time... a friend of mine, Gill Fox has recommended them and I believe she does some tutoring at the gallery as well as having her paintings for sale there too. The Gallery is Art and Soul in Padiham. Check them out!!

Anyway tomorrow I will be taking a few paintings which I hope will lend themselves to be printed. But one I would like to get printed is currently in an exhibition and as I have done this painting for one or two groups recently I had some unfinished paintings of the subject and decided to finish one off so that I could take it tomorrow. A lot of you will recognise it as it has been a popular painting and I have sold a lot of greetings cards from it

This one is not too dissimilar from the original and am happy for it to go for printing.

The other paintings are small studies of trees and little landscapes mainly as I need to work more on my landscapes this year

Out of interest this is the painting which has galvanised me into action as for only the second time I felt quite sorrowful at its departure!!! I am normally happy to sell a painting but this is a favourite and I would have been very happy to keep it myself. Done in Brusho and for those who are interested here is the link to my review about the Brusho DVD and book and there is also a link for anyone who might want to buy at the end of the blog.

So a bit of a mismatch of paintings today... will try to do better next week!!
