The tide going out at wells.

in the distance little dunlins are twirling over the wet sand.

 This is one of my bigger oils that will go to norwich. i find this is the hardest bit of being a painter , organising , carrying , photographing , and all the time keeping a slight distance from the done work . in my head i have an image of 2 men in brown overalls coming in to collect some famous persons  finished master piece, and of course it would be exquisitely wrapped . Its as if the painting is a mental patient , and the artist a delicate parent .

I think its new my feeling attached to my paintings,

today some of them went  to Norwich in a van .

I've been returning to the same place near wells beach, 

and doing a series of small oils , 12x10 inches, and  only occasionally using my ipad ,

 and then i was looking, longingly  at a huge water colour 4x5ft

 this is just a corner of it , showing a french underground angel.

Next month they will be together as some of my work will be assembled in the  'Assembly House' in norwich,

in the Noverre gallery. 

In the priory the faces have been hacked off the wooden pews , so as a comfort  i've given this lady ,- that Neddy was sitting next to - her head back . Also i put a goldfinch in her hand .

I'm using oil paints at the moment , but missing my ipad opportunities when im out walking , so today i took it with me . it gets oddly heavy when im out , and it was cold and windy . sitting in the same place i often go ,the ipad seemed a bit meek and i kept on trying to put  paint  into it

, in fact im sure i saw some naples yellow on my finger tips .
