The end is in sight

Just need to complete the sky, add some shadows to some of the trees, and maybe add a little contrast to the bottom of the grassy field. If all goes well I will complete this Monday, if not than next weekend.

As an aside; I have been mostly listening to The Hilliard Ensemble & Jan Garbarek; 'Officium'. A painter is a bit like a monk I think.

still working on painting No. 5


This week the studio was made back into a bedroom. My daughter Emily has returned from Melbourne to train as a nurse. This is my studio now in the master bedroom, my kind wife let me use this corner where there are photos of various ancestors.
