...in the zone....

Two kids on my easel....

now these two are coming together much easier.

some paintings fight you all the way...others almost paint themselves.

I'm making much faster progress with this one thank goodness!

'touch wood' this will be one of the easier ones.... I need to finish work

for my summer exhibition over Christmas.....and get as much done

before our real Summer heats up...my studio has no air-con!

...thank goodness rescue no longer needed!

however.... these two gave me a lot more trouble! but think I've almost got them
to the almost-finished phase!
but still in progess! just a little tweaking now !

...and now there are six....

work in progress...slow progress

On my easel.....six kids.....this is the most kids I've ever painted 

in the one space.

it's a bit like having six kids in the kitchen....something is bound to happen!

and there are now six times the chances of me messing up!

I'm already struggling ! 

feel like I'm wrestling with the paint.... a bit like this lovely kitch carving

 on the Rye Foreshore...how many kids would have run their hands 

over its woody, knubbly  tentacles over the years. 

I love it...makes me smile!
