He is a superb artist Tessa , here are a few more that I could not resist posting. I love the texture he achieve, must be quite thick paint layered on .

Next weeks thread is Folk art both historical and modern, I will open the thread on Sunday evening.  I won’t be posting a bonus artist this weekend though I would have a weekend off. 
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Well done Paul (is that you in the avatar spot, by the way?) - Christmas and New Year period demands some quiet time to yourself: and not work.   This last selection of really thickly painted oils - I'm assuming they are oils - is a way of painting that some really don't like at all: more like sculpture than painting, I've heard it said.  But no - it gives you a living surface that's full of interest: I could look at those for hours.

Thanks Robert , tis I some twenty years ago while doing my Ranger bit I was recreating some coppice stools . The area hadn’t been coppiced for a very long time and was becoming overgrown, it looked so much better a few years later unfortunately not touch again for the last ten years .

Whilst I would be the first to admit I’m not a huge fan of what many of us think of as traditional still life, I do love these Cezanne paintings of fruit etc..

Wonderful watercolour artist, thanks Paul, one of my favourites also, and someone I met in 1985 for a 2 day masterclass. He’s painted your last nautical painting numerous times in watercolour, with slight variations, it’s such a simple composition which balances so well, tonally also… no surprise there! He also painted in oils, albeit not in the same volume and this particular painting is in oils, title is ‘Tug and Lighters’
