It has not been all bad news. I got off my sick bed to go to the Army Arts Soc private view in Salisbury and was surprised and pleased to win second prize in the Chemring Painting Competition for the little Venice picture I posted on the last blogand also sell some pieces. A few days later I learnt that I had had two paintings accepted for this year's Royal Institute of Oil Painters show, which is a great privilege. They are another, larger Old Harry and a painting of Irish Lady in Cornwall.
Old Harry
You can see and buy both pics on the Mall Galleries web site (under ROI)
Whilst being ill I have tried to keep going with some pastel studies based on work by Ken Howard, Tom Coates, Peter Kuhfeld, etc. Here is one of them - I will post some more on return from Venice:
Salute, after Ken Howard RA. Pastel

San Toma, after Peter Kuhfeld NEAC. Pastel
Sunset from the Molo, after David Sawyer. Pastel
Salute and Orange Wall, after Tom Coates PPNEAC. Pastel

The red stripey poles are no more! I guess they just rotted out
