Back again not so long this time....well Mr Baggage man talks to the birds is finished .......He is taking a rest out of his long Journey!

I forgot to mention I have had a tree flurry , painting lots of different trees, big ones small ones, abstract in all ways  and playing with colours...... I think it was the lovely autumn we had last year, I took some pictures which you can see on my website, quite , quite lovely. Candy trees is the first painting here , on canvas textured paper , however I have just started a larger version on canvas.   

The Jellybob site is almost ready , is the world ready for Jellybobs? We'll see............

Longer than I thought

Well time does go by , without even realising it ....Christmas came and went quietly and peacefully...January has led to a burst of creative energy ... The website has been running well , more additions are being planned but it is clear and simple enough to get about.
I have been developing the Jellybob website a bit of whimsy, a break from the sometimes harsh world of reality... I noticed I forgot to upload the picture of the Jellybob painting Haven. will do so now............... And there is Haven , protection from a cruel world.


As for my new paintings they are an explosive mix of colour which came about me one week after christmas, there is lots of metallic highlights threw them .
Here is "mountaineering " on 16 x 20 inch canvas textured paper. The paper is excellent quality and quite heavy, good for working out ideas for bigger canvas. I have been working on a range of fairy tale based abstract paintings the first is Sleeping Beauty but the canvas version will have quite a few changes .
This is titled Rescue of Beauty and is on sale at my website. The canvas version is work in progress.. another theme that is returning is my Mr Baggage man's journey , the original painting was sold last year but it was originally planned to be a series .... the first is shown below

I am nearly finished one of three , "Mr baggage man talks to the birds" will be uplaoded shortly and two smaller ones" Mr baggage man meets Rover"" and "Waiting on tea with the devil" all are on paper (16 x 20inch and two 16 x 12 inch) , mr Baggage man at moonlight will be a blue version of above on 36 x 24 inch canvas.......about to be started.... Some new Jellybobs are on their way to.

I won't leave it so long to update ......
