A third painting for the upcoming exhibition in the garden centre. I got it completed in time to take in today. The exhibition seems a bit chaotic, but it will be interesting to see how it goes. Generally first exhibitions do well as you can be tapping into a new market, but after a few repetitions those that buy have no more room in their walls.
I need to go up and see how another exhibition near Preston is going. I entered a few years ago on their inaugural event and sold a couple of paintings, but now after at least five years, I am not holding out much hope.
The exhibitions are coming thick and fast. I also have three painting down in Liverpool, which coincides with a festival they are having. The venue is a little out of the way and the theme was the Mersey which rather restricted what I could enter. Still, I was able to dig three out the archives.
Other paintings are on my website grahammcquadefineart.com

Thanks Carmel. Using cadmium yellow which is quite opaque, I float the colour into damp areas to increase transparency. As I said earlier I feel I could have got the yellow a bit warmer in the areas near the light.

There’s a fair way to go before I get near to perfection – but thanks for your vote of confidence, Linda.

Oh, good, you’ve come to the point, you don’t like my painting. I understand – it must have been hard. You join many others, I’ve no problem with your opinion.
Oh, here, you’d better have your dummy back.
