Still busy with my exhibition over at Lynmouth in the Exmoor National Park Centre. Sales have continued and those paintings replaced with some new ones.
I'm currently busy preparing some more new works, but they take time as with Oil paintings they need time to dry - plus adding a detail or two, at least this is when the paint is applied thinly.
For the textured works, where the oil paint is applied thickly (I use a palette knife), these cannot be added to when that first paint is dry - Why? because ultimately that First layer of paint will still be drying under the newly applied layer, and will cause that top layer to crack. So planning ahead has to go into the paintings.
Today, I continued working on this painting...and had my photo taken with it..(click the image below for a closer view)
Update:
I have done some more work on this painting in the home studio and, at the moment, I consider the painting complete, although it will now dry for a week or two. I'll update with a photo once I know the painting is totally finished.

Robin, and there’s me hating my picture took! I got ambushed into it. But I guess fairs fair, if it all helps Exmoor National Park, and their camera didn’t break, so that was a bonus, LOL
