It really has been a long while since my last post, but such a lot has happened in that time.
I've been undecided whether to keep this blog going. It seemed to finish with that magical Easter time when we bought a Hare in Trier and took him around the restaurant and the Cathedral and the wine bars and then back on the train. But he's still here and is sitting by me as I write this. I've documented my latest paintings and my painting news on my new Facebook page, but it doesn't have the same feeling as a blog... I'm a bit worried about it all falling off the end of the timeline (though it probably won't) and then I'll forget what I've done...... When times were a bit dark, it was good to go back and read everything that I've written here.....
And as for my paintings? The ones I showed in progress in this blog - 'Halloween Wilbur' and 'Wilbur in the Window' (though it's really called something else) - were exhibited this summer in the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery in London. I've become an associate member of the Society of Feline Artists (SOFA). My last 'Painting in Progress' on this blog The Swan and the Stuben has been finished and has been accepted into the Bentlif Open Art Prize Exhibition in Maidstone. And, I've started an etching course at the local college. Have a look at my website for the paintings/prints of the above-mentioned, though I'll probably post them here as well....
I'm also starting to do Pet Portraits - I'm starting a new 'Painting in Progress' with our Princess Bups and I'll post the first couple of stages very soon. At the moment I have stage 2 & 3 - and it was when I was writing about it on my website this evening about the blue background turning into a deep sky of rabbits and stars that I thought.............
I thought..........
A Farewell to Eller? I hope not....
