twenty four paintings

CREATE: Not sure wether this is good or bad - but it feels OK - just counted the number of canvases on or around my easels that are 'underway' twenty four - yes - twenty four! that's a lot of pictures to keep in my head, but it seems to work for me.

Let me introduce you to a few of them....

 Left to right- may I introduce Llandysul, black & white; St Brides, in glorious 'Golden' colour and Llangrannog with foxgloves.

And here we have a nearly finished Newquay, behind that a project for Carmarthen County Council of Llaugharne, and behind that a nearly finished Llangrannog--- and to the right, a couple of paintings that have yet to find their identities.


Ah, and there's my sketch books, and on the left behind the empty wine glass, the book of flowers and kitchen roll is St Martin's haven, almost there (?) and waiting it's final couple of layers.

Each of these paintings (except the black and white one) will eventually have in the region of between 12 -15 layers of paint. I work this way as I'm never quite sure what the painting will be until it's finished and it takes a lot of layers for me to feel happy with it.
