Monday morning painting

Monday morning painting, listening to an endless loop of "Tank" by Audioporn (see previous post). Painting, for me, really is the best way to start the day/week, getting into a pure creative space, also in this case a celebration of nature, just as the seasons are changing.

This is my current commission, the evening sun dazzling through the branches & leaves on the path up Lewesdon hill, bleaching out the trunk of a young tree.

It's a complex painting, which is why, once I've sketched in the basic composition, I then work my way from back to front. I love to challenge myself, and I wouldn't envy anyone undertaking this painting, but I just get on with it, believing I'll eventually pull it off.

This afternoon I've got to put on my 'business head' and get my exhibition ready for the Tamara Drewe Charity Gala this coming Friday. I'm looking forward to it.
