Thanks guys,
for the comments,its much appreciated.Tony,the change in the painting style has come about since our IPMS competition in Wellington.After meeting a Guy by the name of Mike Butler who is a wonderful figure painter,theres something in his painting style that does it for me.Its a style that has been rekindled and if i paint in small areas at a time and finish as I go then for me there is some sort of improvement.
For me this hobby is a continual learning process through sharing ideas.
