A winner at last


After many years of trying, finally  a winner.

It means a great deal, as only my fellow artists are eligible to vote. Thanks to all that did.

Yesterday was the third weekly meeting at the Arun Art Society. This time a live portrait model came into the session and sat for two separate poses. This one was completed in two 20 minute sittings.

It measures approx 10" by 12" and was painted with Conte pastel pencils on Winsor and Newton pastel paper.

A great model, and I have recommended her to Dudley Sawer for monthly portrait sessions.

Winter wood


This was painted at the second weekly meeting of the newly joined Arun Art Society. It still feels like being at a new school.

Painted with Atelier Interactive acrylics on Winsor and Newton Galeria 300 gsm acrylic paper, it measures approx 12" by 8".

A keeper I think.

Kastri


It felt just like being the new boy at school - first morning at Arun Art Society. After living in Ferring for 8 years, I am finally in. There are some very good artists in the Society, so it should keep me on my toes.

This pastel is approx 12" by 10" and was painted with Conte hard and soft pastels on grey Winsor pastel paper. John Atkinson and I swam out to the island and snorkeled around it just about 2 years ago.
