Ready for framing


Now the painting has dried completely and is off the board, sealed and ready for framing.

The Daphne Odora is in bloom now:


It was very quiet yesterday at the Gallery, and so I had time to do some small sumi studies. This is just mounted onto a piece of masa backing paper - it will lighten up as it dries out.

A work in progress


This little painting might develop into a mixed media collage. The basket needs more work. I will keep it around and look at it until an answer comes to mind ~ it has lost the freshness and spontaneous simplicity of a sumi painting, and so it will evolve into something else...
