At last I managed to have a solo exhibition, after two months of intense painting, my show opened at La feuille d'or on 21st Oct 2009. The opening night seemed to be a success, with over two hundred people passing through, I was happy yet nervous, it is the first time I have publicly shown my personal paintings since 1984. Here are a few of the paintings and a couple of pics from the opening. Btw, I would never have been able to do this without the help and support of good friends. Thankyou everybody.
At last I have set up my own website, so if anyone is interested you can go to http://www.muralsandart.com/ Meanwhile I have just finished a new mural for a restaurant here in Corfu. see picture. Work and life continue.....
Having reworked this, I am now stopping here. But started a new one on a small 30/24cm black canvas, just the face to help me concentrate on the features.
This is my partner David's, niece's daughter, still unfinished as yet, but need to finish it as I will be doing Mollie's little sister when Mollie is finished. Oil on canvas board ( I need to be able to post it to her mum) 50/40cm.
I started a selfportrait from life, being fed up with painting from photographs, and unable to find a model with the patience of a saint. So using a mirror, this is the result so far. Still unfinished as yet, and gone on the back burner a bit now as I have had to start another portrait ( see next post) This is oil on canvas. 50/40cm.
This is my finished portrait.I gave it as a Christmas present to my dear friends Anna and Phil for their continued encouragement and support. Thankyou guys.
