Each picture basically represents a band he loves - so he has to work out which bands they are! He will, he's a music anorak, nothing will pass him by! If he really likes it I'll frame it up for him. I really enjoyed doing this. Some of the images were more successful than others I think, but they were all universally fiddly to do as each square is around an inch and a half across.
The lack of recent artwork other than the above has made me have a look through some old images I have on the computer. As this post is about Paul's birthday I thought I'd post this picture too. A watercolour I did last summer (in daylight - when can we have proper daylight again???) - part of a series of studies I did trying to master painting snowy mountains. We had visited Zermatt in Switzerland a couple of years previously and this picture was an effort to portray Paul with a dramatic mountainy backdrop. Still not sure of the success of this piece, my sky wash is a bit weak, but I am quite fond of it because of the memory it evokes - so, here is Birthday Boy in the Alps!
Right, the light is disappearing on another weekend (where do they go?) so I'd better go and do something useful. I have more time to myself again now, and from next weekend a week off the proper job - yey!!! So, hopefully I'll find time to have a go at a couple of the EDM challenges I have been wanting to try - my fingers are itching to get cracking.....
