The car is so close to finished now - only taken six months! Then it’s all of the roadside rocks, and we’re done.

I'm so pleased to see it takes you so long to finish a painting, because I've been working on one for about a month, and thought it a hugely long time. Compared with you, I'm up and at it with the speed of lightning. Well, we take our time: why not? You're doing a brilliant job with this: just completely brilliant - I'm lost in admiration, frankly; superlatives have worn themselves out like an old tyre on a racing track.... It'll be a cracker when it's finished.

Barring some work on the background, and the surface underneath the car, this one’s done.
It’s reminded me of my amazing capacity for procrastination...six months work but managed to put the really difficult bits off for the first five and a half! Hopefully will be completed early next week and off to the owner.

Spent tonight painting the first stage of the rocks and stones under the rod:
Once this is (hopefully) dry tomorrow, I’ll add another, darker plane to the stones to give them some substance, then add some smaller stones of varied colours in with a wee brush. Once all of that’s dry, I’m going to glaze the whole area with a Payne’s Grey/raw umber mix, to darken the whole shadow down. Nearly there!
