Nice, not the best pics but the scarlet does look nice and subtle, a tricky colour to highlight and shade so well done indeed.

Cheers Simon

Your right there ..I stand before you head bowed in shame ...the embarrassment...lol

One thing hopefully I didn’t want to do was over shadow the scarlet ...we shall see with hopefully better pics

Appreciate your comments

They say a bad workman blames his tools, that is so not the case with camera phones, one day the lighting works perfectly the next day the same set up is rubbish. Flipping government should do something about it!

Progressing nicely, the red and the blue sash looking good at this stage.
your brushwork is very neat and precise.

That's better, I can see what you've been up to I like the work on the jacket, subtle and effective. This one really is full of character, looking forward to seeing the face come to life.

Hi folks

Bit of verbal on this ...no no Wellingtons behaving himself .......not had much time @ the bench recently with sorting Bugle Call out (1/12. @ Nailsea , near Bristol ) ......

But .....finished off the chest star .....happy with that ....so that leaves the neck awards ....and the flesh

..a new and clean WP is waiting for the flesh ....yes that’s next !

Stay tuned ...the next piece is waiting patiently

Looking forward to it. Given your on line presence, sorting shows and gallantly taking Carole to the shops there must be little enough time at the bench. Time management skills or bull in a China shop approach?

Cheers Simon

Brilliant work Kev that garter star is superb, you paint such large busts but still excel in the small detail, great work.

Cheers Simon
