Obviously much has happened since I last wrote in this blog but it was necessary to keep the website the same as it was part of my degree, well now that I have passed my degree I can say what I like on here within reason. so it should start to get a bit more interesting.

Yesterday I added a new page to the site containing about half the paintings I have done in 2023 there are more which I will add later, but I have a low boredom threshold, but I am sure the mood will take me again soon because I like things to be tidy and closed off.

Now that I am retired from paid work, I am woring for the family, thiis is just like real work but nobody pays you, a bit like painting really, so the family work I do tends to be the fun bits. On Monday and Tuesday I am a child carer looking after my grandchildren which is really fun. The rest of the week recently, I have been refitting the kitchen, it isn’t finished yet, but it is comming along fine. When it is finished I will do a summary with pictures and post it on this blog.

This is the art bit, I am currently exploring the American Plein Air Landscape Painters, the set books for this are currently Carlsons Guide to landscape Painting and Gruppe on Color both of which are readily available on Amazon. The lectures and demonstrations are provided by the excellent Phil Stark Channel on Youtube.I just tried to do links to these things by pressing every button on the screen, but failed, I will consult with my technical friends prior to writing my next post.
