Sorry I haven't blogged for ages, I'm too bloody lazy to.  This is my latest painting and, in case you're wondering, it's an orange.  Now I don't get on too well with citrus fruit, there are probably a couple on here somewhere that are complete disasters.  I have approached this one very differently as I am determined not be beaten by an orange.  I am doing this in layers of colour, all dry brushed in, have ruined 3 brushes so far.  I am really happy with it now and maybe the "can't do citrus fruit" thing might be coming to an end (although I won't hold my breath).

So I have been set a challenge, someone has asked me to paint a car for them.  This is the one they wanted (well I hope it is).  I almost hyperventilated when I was asked but then thought that I should at least try to do it.  Treat it like a still life but instead of having the object in front of me I am using a photograph for reference.  I have to confess the more I have done on it the more I have enjoyed it too, the picture below doesn't look like I'm enjoying it I know but I was concentrating at the time.  This is in oil and is quite large.
