Bus Selfie – New painting

You nearly didn’t get to see this painting.

I took the work in progress to The Love Art Fair so that I could finish it during quiet periods. I find it’s a good stage to work with when I’m showing people how I work. As it’s very tactile , it requires a different type of concentration which stands interruption well.

After finishing  the picture late on Saturday, I left it propped up overnight intending to photograph it the next day when the light was better.

I wasn’t due in until 1pm on Sunday and when I arrived…

It was gone, it had already sold!

So, I now have a new record for shortest time between completing a picture and selling it.

Fortunately the lovely people who bought it were happy for me to come over and take a picture. Which meant I was also able to meet them as well.

So here’s the finished painting.

I now find myself in a very surreal situation, with no works in progress. I’ve said before that I try and start something new before finishing an older piece.

Let’s hope I don’t start procrastinating…

I’ve just treated a big canvas!

This painting is now sold but if you’re interested in something similar, you might like to consider commissioning a painting?
