This is a quick follow-up blog post because I have discovered that several people have had difficulty with the website – which means they have lost out on the Christmassy paintings I was offering in my last email  …. the hens have gone and the other sheep are going but the others are still available…. ?

Back to the real purpose of this post…as a way of saying ‘sorry’ to those of you who were frustrated or disappointed by the website not working as it should  – I  shall l offer any painting that is on my website (that is still available) with 10 – 15% off …. this applies until Jan 6 2017!,    the Feast of the Epiphany…..   Here are some suggestions….  all smallish pictures –  a Taste of Spring?

Autumn Trees reflected (Manor Farm) oil/board 30 x 47

£900 in DAW 2016 –  £750  until Jan 6 2017 

Forbidden Memories: Meadow and Fontmell again! 50 x 45 cm

DAW 2016 price £800 … £725.. for the next couple of weeks!

Small white Blossom 30 x 24 oil on board
…. actually the crab apple in our garden with forgetmenots underneath …

was for sale in London for…£925 … now £800 ….. for this limited period!

These two paintings are hanging in our sunroom …. I thought it might be useful to see them on the wall…? I rather like them – much more simple and textural than I usually paint … I used ‘painting butter’ and a palette knife for part of them which makes more solid shapes ! The danger of palette knife painting is that work can become to ‘tecnique-ey’ and self-conscious …. more about dexterity and cleverness than about honesty…. at least, thats what I think!!!
