Here's a novelty - I'm timing myself as I work on this one, for the first time. Now I'm going to try and make a viable business out of my work I thought it was a worthwhile activity. This is five hours in - 12x12", oils on canvas. I've blocked most of it in and hope to add the detail before the weekend. Anth

Good for you Anth - will look forward to seeing how it progresses.

Looking good already. I've only timed myself once, I think - with an acrylic which I showed to someone, told them I'd taken whatever time it was, about an hour possibly less, and he said "Um. I really hate it". But then he has a somewhat literal mind. I quite like it....

Hope you struck him off your Christmas card list Robert.

Now Adele, would I do a thing like that? No indeed. I buried him at the bottom of the garden. There was a lovely display of marigolds over the spot this year.....

Timing ones self.... I couldn't do that. An hour here... a few there and more then. But i's looking good so far.

It's not something I'd ordinarily do, but I'm looking at - dare I say it - 'commercial viability' :)

Getting there... May try and finish that hubcap off tonight, then do some work on the wing to pull that together, then I reckon it's done! Anth.

Thanks Margaret! Had another session tonight and, barring some tweaking here and there, it's done: Sounds like there's a good chance it may be shown at the Ford Technical Centre at Dunton next month, which would be pretty amazing!
