    I think you may have broaden his shoulders in the 3rd picture as well which brought his head back into a better ratio size wise.
    I enjoy seeing your artwork so thanks.

    Yes your probably right ,, but thanks for taking the time and trouble to comment ,, tbh it’s funny and interesting how we all see things in different ways ,, I’m kinda getting to the stage where I’ve had about enough of it , this is the stage of frustration due to the fact I’ve had no art training as such other than I’ve taught myself which is probably like a bad golf swing ,, you have to unlearn it before you can relearn it the proper way .

    Anyway it’s a one off and I shall soon be back bumbling along with my landscapes which is my happy area
    I'm proud of my 38" waist , also proud I have never done drugs

    Moving closer towards the finish line with cone head

    Some parts I need to adjust need to dry first before I get in there

    I used up the bit of black , vermillion and lobbed in a bit of ultramarine to give me a nice purple ish background colour which sits nicely opposite the yellow of the shirt on the colour wheel so it should marry up together

    Just made a few small adjustments to the old boys pic , might as well have saved myself the bother as when he saw it yesterday I got the traditional thai thanks for thinking of me and making the effort to do that in the form of “ a grunt followed by ,, it makes me look fat “ before returning to his hobby of sweeping up dead leaves and burning them .

    I should have learned by now over the years , mind I’m certainly not as generous with em now when I come over as it’s just not appreciated .

    Anyway I enjoyed the process and will hang it up in his outside loo when we’re next over

    Moving along to the second oil sketch of the year from Constable country , to a lady who is very much appreciative of such a gift .

    She walks around the Dedham countryside with her 3 dogs on a daily basis and is well known here , this particular dog of hers was savagely attacked twice last year by other dogs off leashes , the second time a Rottweiler tore through her cruciate ligament resulting in a vets bill of over £5000 to rebuild her , to be fair the owner of the dog came forward to apologise and settle the bill .

    Im crap at painting animals but there was enough info here for her to love this little painting I’ve gifted to her on one of her daily trails across the fields

    It’s done nothing but piss down here all weekend so I thought it appropriate to have a go with the watercolours down a lane here close to where we live

    Oil sketch on oil paper down at Dedham ,, off down there for a lovely walk to Flatford and a nice coffee by the river .

    Quite a good week , a lady messaged me to purchase some Dedham paintings from an inheritance she’s just come into , then another lady has been given my number as she wants to buy local artists work

    Sunday we had a walk over the flooded / frozen meadows between Flatford and Dedham , it’s was very bright in the sunshine but very slippery underfoot , this old pollarded tree sat in the frozen water so I painted it in oil on oil paper

    I’d say pretty much yes Wills the sun was very bright but still very cold and frozen , I think we’re a way off spring yet although there is a welcome lift in temp towards the end of this week.
    Busy with a load of small jobs for a while now , so will be gathering some more potential painting material hopefully over the weekend

    Oil on a bit of oil paper 10” by 8”

    I have developed my own secret way of speed painting , which is exactly what I need for painting outdoors as speed is the essence to try and capture what’s in front of you before the light changes too much

    A small pastel today for a change from our lovely walk in the spring sunshine in 14 degrees , it was glorious ,, I just love the way these old pollarded trees still seem to reach out and fight to live on

    I might well develop this into a larger oil later on if I get any interest in it

    A little work in progress shot for you today , once this is reasonably nice and dry I shall place a pair of swans on it ,, I might well have to take the brightness of the water down a few knotches as I really want the white swans to pop out
