Eribas

Well despite what you’ve said Derek, I think it depicts the scene perfectly. The figure in the red jumper leads you in too.

The scene is there, I agree, but faults?? loads in the painting part thanks

Love this...so what? The one on the right was bigger and nearer...I guess. Love the atmosphere and the bravery of only using credit cards. i agree with Ellen, It depicts a scene so many of us have known in our lives. well done that man!

Good work Derek, great little sketch.

Should be three figures not two Derek - ah, couldn't resist - no, it's a little gem, captures the scene perfectly. Don't know when we'll get out this year, so much else on.

33x23cms on paper. Laboured for hours to get this right and major errors revealed once finished, then I thought it'll do....other things to get on with. The Eriba errors are for the caravan pals to spot. One of the arty farty errors is in perspective. The van on the right is for too big an image compared to the others. It's a remake of one of my earlier works titled Eribas peeping out....or something? All done with credt cards and one pen line on the central van. Someone is going to say should be 3 figures - not 2

About the Artist

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
