Here are the two storm skies I’m working on that I mentioned last time. I’m happy with the way the skies are coming on. I’ve loosely painted in the view so far which is looking down a very steep street here in Sheffield. It’s called Blake Street and has apparently been used as a location for a Hovis advert and was seen in the film ‘The Full Monty’, well the Blake pub at the top of the street was. The pub has recently reopened as a really brill real ale pub which is good for me and the 3rd Eye as we only live five minutes away.
Well, to round off a good weekend, I sold two of my new woodland paintings today from my studio, the one featured on my first blog and ‘Pinkie Wood’ shown here. Seeing them online gives you an idea but seeing them for real reveals the texture, subtleties of colour change and hidden depths.
These new paintings are getting good viewings on my website, Saatchi Online and ArtWanted. I’m inspired to do more of these, even bigger ones.
Just listening to Jarvis Cocker on 6Music while writing this. It’s my favourite radio show of the moment and is being broadcasted from here in Sheff, so lots of Sheffield music old and new.
Next time: the ‘magic brush’, the commissions in progress and a painting for the Red Cross.
