Small animation of the process up until 27 September 2010

If you want a larger image, you can select "view" then "zoom" then "200%"

It is harder to see any changes on the movie clip as I get towards "the end"

• Completed 27 September 2010 •

Sorry - might not work on Apple as it is a .wmv file

- to study the detail - scroll way down.

Two movies for you - the first one "The last bit"

the second "The earlier process"

Taking a break from painting - for a few weeks anyway.

Back soon.

I lied - after a two year hiatus - I restarted 04 August 2010!!!

Finished 27 September 2010 - well, is a painting ever finished?

Today's progress - Signed the painting. I'll probably fuss over it now and then, but it is basically complete.
27 September 2010
Today's progress - Worked on the glove and also the top left corner - on "The Spud" rock, and surrounding pebbles. These small images do not really show the true colours and tones, but close enough to give you an idea.
24 September 2010
Today's progress - top right corner and downwards, bottom left and across to centre, generally all over the place...next will be a session on the glove shadows. You can really see progress on the painting actual size, here, well, you be the judge.
21 September 2010
Worked on the glove and a couple of rocks on the right hand side - about 3 o'clock. Most of the larger rocks have names, pet rocks are back? See if you can guess a few.

Here are some "Follow the Brush" studio images of the second part of my diptych "Flotsam" and "Jetsam". Nothing special in the way of photography, no tripod, just point and shoot. It will give you a feel for, and an understanding of, the process of completing a painting. I'm not punching a time clock with this one, just enjoying the exercise.

I will add to this page every now and then, the most recent image being at the top. Hopefully you will see some difference from one photograph to the other!!
