I haven't updated this blog in a little while as I am writing another blog about my travels around cornwall at
http://www.cornishblog.com but I thought I would just add a recent painting I have done which I am entering into a competition from Artists and Illustrators magazine. 1st prize in the competition is represention by a top London gallery, 2nd place is to have your work shown in Dulwich gallery, either prize would be fantastic therefore I went to extra effort to paint the still life painting above.
I'm very pleased with the final piece as it made me realise that I am actually quite good at painting when I take my time and put my mind to what I am doing. I usually spend 10 hours on a painting, but this one took 2 days as I tried very hard to follow the artistic rules of composition when I set the scene and took extra care and attention on the initial drawing before I started to paint.
Fingers crossed that it's a winner.
