The first painting of the new year...

...was done in a bit of a rush (technical term, ‘alla prima’ which does not, as you might imagine mean ‘all in one go’ but instead ‘bloomin’ heck’).

Anyway, it’s my day off work today and as busy as things have been this month, I was determined to squeeze in some painting at some time this month so I thought,
‘Why not?’... 5 hours later, I have me some pre-stretched canvas 36” x 36” with some paint on it. I might touch it up a bit later and put it on sale.

Oh, this is the first time that I
’ve been reasonably successful at painting a ‘chap’, so I reckon I might crack open a tinnie to celebrate.
