This is a great little start. I`m going on to an oil based canvas. An expensive one from Bird and Davies in London and have lightly prepared the ground in Raw Umber but very little so it`s just off white. The canvas has a superb tooth to it . It has to dry now for the second sitting. These are easy to screw up so it has to be done patiently the beauty of it is the oil on the fresh canvas so if you make a mistake at this stage you have to rub it off with turps and it just gets messy and looses the freshness.

Nearly done. Just got to finish off the Sea
Oh!! I LOVE THIS!! Just need to add something on the left in the rose area, maybe some musical notes. Not sure Yet!!
This is another Marrakech that I started. I started it in very pale colours and glazed over it with Carmine and Burnt Umbe with Liquin so it dried fast and had a glossy finish.. It`s coming along very nicely and the paint quality is very pleasing. To me this is very exciting and everything oil painting is all about. Giving a visual delight to the eye. I am not trying to make you think. Just the opposite. The language is colour and paint.

Currently in dialogue with Blackheath Gallery in Blackheath for there Christmas Exhibition. I will do a couple of still life's , a Marrakech and maybe a harbour scene. Here is the first day on the Marrakech painting. I have at least half a dozen paintings on the go at any one time. All drying and waiting for attention or just figuring out in my head how to take the next step with them I`d put this on my wall!

With the remains of the oil on my palette yesterday.in the last half hour of the working day I started this. Been working on it this morning. 58x64 cms I really am throwing caution to the wind. You never know when I will have a relapse. Trying not to be so critical of the marks I make and accepting them . This seems to be working. I`ll not touch this until tomorrow or the day after when the oil has settled.
