New 40"x40" Canvas

Just a quick blog. I have got my new big canvas today and I mean BIG! 40”x40”! We are now thinking of making room in my studio as there is a wardrobe in there. As you can see from the picture the canvas is on an angle, I can’t put it straight as one side will hit my table and the other hits the wardrobe. So we are now going to move some stuff round if not try and sell the wardrobe, it’s too good to through away and we haven’t got a van to give it to family or friends.

I thought my last painting was big it looks small compared to this one. :-O

More Time To Paint.

Well half term is coming up so I have a lot more time to paint, but for me I have an extra week as the tutors have a training day or something all I know is more time for me :-D

What have I been doing lately? Well the same old thing, college and painting, but this week am going to have a go at making a sculpture one of my piggy chaps or my trees. The stuff ill be using is self drying clay it doesn’t need to be cooked, fired, or what ever its called. I’ll be using a tip that Peter Smith uses for this sculpture and that tip is tin foil and why people haven’t thought of this before I don’t know as its quite ingenuis as you use less clay and it will be lighter.

And here’s what you have been waiting for and its still not finished, but I thought I should at least show you this at this stage as I keep mentioning it but not delivering the goods. So here it is hope you like. 2010 'And Pigs Might Fly'

First Bad Day Of 2010

Could this day get any worse! I missed a packaged this morning so I have to got to the local sorting office, they didn't even leave a card!

I sent a item to the wrong address because they moved (they did give me the new address but I written the one that was confirmed from paypal) so I had to refund them and I have lost the package, another one is sending there item back claiming its faultily even though it was brand new not even opened and lastly another one saying the item was dirty, it was a nitro engine! So it will be! It came out of a RC buggy that drives in drit, sand, mud, grass and so on. As I stated in my description I tried my best and they still had the cheek to complain! They got a engine for under £30 including P+P and there worth £97!

AND to top it all of my brush slipped out of my hand and rolled down my painting I think it was because of what happened above. :-( I need a beer!
