Well now. Retirement came round quicker than a skater on ice, so I will be taking time to sort out a few things and deciding what the next chapter of my life is going to look like .
Posts have been far from my mind lately and will I,m sure be even less frequent as when I paint it will be for pleasure .
Many thanks for looking and for the lovely comments along the way.
Take care.

Another one I,m working on in acrylics, still have a lot of detail to put in and highlights.
Of course, a scene from my favourite haunt, Tullymore.

This is one of the paintings I am working on at the minute. I haven't worked in oils for a long time.
I like the finished look but not the long drying time.

A long way to go before finished.

Not my usual art, but art of a kind.

And so it begins.
It's not easy painting when you are lying in bed with your leg on pillows surrounded with pencils, coloured pencils etc.
Watching YouTube I came across video,s on how to use procreate on an iPad for art.
Of course you know I had to try it. So borrowed Johnny's ipad and had a play. It was so much fun and because it is done in layers you can,t really go wrong. You can change between mediums and brushes, make your own palettes etc.
It will never replace traditional methods but I will have to explore this more.
So I went to the dark side and bought my own ipad. This is my first attempt . So much to learn but here I come youtube.

It,s been a while.
Not my usual landscapes but trying something different.
It,s good to change it up now and again.
Line and wash.
