Great stuff Have you ever exhibited I a sure many would love to see your work.

That lemon in the glass looks so inviting Cheers!!

[nigelandjan]

Thanks David and Willy above ^ and no the answer is I am afraid no viable to do ,, the galleries round where we live want so much money which kinda works for professional artists selling for decent sums but not for amateur art , by the time I paid the gallery I’d be a lot of money out of pocket that I can’t afford to lose .
Many years ago I was allowed to exhibit in local art group exhibitions and sold some and made a few bob ,, but all three groups have now stopped that unless you pay £30 annually to join which I was prepared to do ,, but you must attend their art group meetings once a year which I am deffo not prepared to do , basically sit amongst a load of old retired people talking about their traumas but nothing much else .
Dont get me wrong these clubs serve a purpose in the retirement area that I live in but it’s not for me thanks

Apologies if I’ve posted this Issan sunset before I can’t remember , but as we are now leaving Issan for home it’s goodbye from us

Sure would mate ,, you could achieve a lot with a very limited pallete

Well, that would certainly be unlike what he's achieved with his very limited palate.

Try again , sorry it’s very difficult to find this thread now

sorry lads I just have been kept told that I don’t have permission to post on her


Anyway I’m still here and a couple of crappy acrylics done in Lanzarote last week .

^I am feeling the energy in that one on the left Nige

Looks like you got the weather, nice

Nige its been patchy connection for over a week now but brighten our day and post a pic, hope you are reasonably well and Mrs Nige

Back again with something a bit different , I bought an ols shiny metal beaker in one of the local charity shops and put some summer fruits in front of it and painted it in oils on an 8” square deep edge canvas box .

Ive had a local gallery contact me about displaying my work but she wants me to price everything at about £20/£30 so its sells to the day trippers and turns over quick in her gallery with her taking 20% ,, I told her I’d rather burn it than piss about like that , for some reason people seem to think you can spend 3 hours plus materials generating something original to effectively give it away .

A little bit of plein air painting out in the countryside with a bit of shade from the woods beside me and a nice breeze , believe it or not in 31 degs

You don’t normally paint folks in your pics. Thats a good one!

[nigelandjan]

Cheers Wills , spot on in your observation ,, I’m pretty crap at doing them ,, I’d rather paint a tree any day

That one looks pretty good, so maybe you should do some more

Nice one

[nigelandjan]

Not a painting as such , just an excersise in using only five colours and applying only with this mixing knife ,, no brushes a favourite little scene of mine on the Stour ,, oil on oil paper ,, did this in between cooking the dinner Sunday so about 40 mins actually spent on it
