New Painting 1

 Greetings

I have added the first oil glazes to the new painting.

It now looks like this

it used to look like this

As you can see the colour is already much richer.

I will continue to add glazes until I am happy with it.

Christmas

 Seasons Greetings

As a medievalist, I celebrate Christmas in the the old way from Martinmas (11 November) until Candlemas ( 2 February).

I have decorated the hall and living room and the wreath has been hung on the front door.

Sadly, this year I have not been able to make my own wreath ( as in previous years). The yew bush and bay are no more. They have been sacrificed to enable me to park off-road on my former front garden.

We did this as part of  the works getting the old side fence replaced. We have put gates across the old rear drive ( the patio), so we can still use it for visitors and workmen, but I finally I have my rear garden back and delivery drivers will stop trying to deliver to the back door

 As usual, I have set up the tree and decorated it with as many baubles etcetera as I can fit on.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas  and a Cool Yule

Until next time

A New Painting

 Greetings

I have been working on a new painting.

I am experimenting again. This work is painted on primed hardboard, which I have cut to size for one of my stock of unglazed frames.

As with "Catspaw" ( which I have blogged about previously) , I am doing the underpainting in acrylic.

This means that the basic structure of the painting forms considerably faster.

I will then work over this with oil glazes to increase the depth and vibrancy of the image.

I have now completed the underpainting and the picture looks like this

Until next time
