Well, you've all suffered enough. I can deny you no longer. Photographed with flash, then - I've got really fed up with this one, to be quite frank; and there are things I'd do with it still but I've got bored with fiddling with it; maybe I'll come back to it in a few months, but it would be sheer cruelty to keep you waiting that long, and I just don't want the responsibility of David's ear on my shoulders.... as it were. So here is the latest view of Trumpton, as pink as candyfloss ......

Robert all my sensitivities have been aroused my eyes and ear are fully alert to another fine piece.Don't be too hard on yourself ,I have the same feeling after every picture I paint very often during the whole process I feel like abandoning it but then gradually you make a break through The pink works, so what the houses have pink walls what I also like is the deliberate use of complimentary colour and analogous colours .The composition works for me so does the aerial perspective and the feeling of light running through the picture etc etc for me it works so there, no doubt some others will disagree

No worries there Robert surely? It is a good and honest depiction of your view and painted skillfully, Could do without the damn cat though.

I'm not even THAT fond of cats, but .... there's always a cat sitting on a wall somewhere; plotting some nameless evil; looking innocent.....

Right then - now look, I'm hogging this subject heading; let's have a few more WIPs from someone else.... In the meantime, though, something a bit different from me: this is an oil preliminary sketch of a long dead gentleman whose identity I shall only reveal if it ends up looking like him; and if it doesn't, I shall pretend he's someone else no one has ever heard of, so you can't check, hee hee. And no, it's not Karl Marx. For the moment, it's just a sketch on oil painting paper, 10" by 7": I rather fancied a portrait, even a small one, because I haven't painted one for years. So it may take a while to finish - in the meantime, put your own stuff on here - come on, time you exposed yourselves..... In the nicest possible way, obviously..

Tearing into the subject at the rate of one coat of paint per week - speed never was my constant companion - I offer the latest WIP, the second version (ie, I've just blocked in a bit of turpsy paint) of my mystery man. Already it looks a bit more like him, so we can also make a game of it; see if you can guess who it's supposed to be.

Let us leave Trumpton to one side - and never you mind about the milkman .... he's not there because he got caught delivering more than milk, and was run out of town.....

Marjorie, you're too damn' clever by half - how on earth did you get that? Now then: one of those is right (the other's not far off, now I look at it) - there's no prizes here I'm afraid, but tell you what: I'll wink at you meaningfully if you get the correct one out of those two. I can see the Cézanne in there too - (mind you, you paint a turn of the 19th century gent with mucho whiskers, and the possibilities are almost endless). Here's a clue, mostly for Marjorie who I think has it - this gentleman was a particular hero of mine (bear in mind I was for years an election agent for a particular political party) and he tended to favour clothing that was some 20 years out of fashion; largely because, probably, he couldn't afford much else. Broadcloth was his forte - and jolly good stuff it is too. Do you ever wish - well, Marjorie won't, obviously - that we could get away with frock coats and top hats these days? I do ..... I'd just love it...... I can see Syd thus attired: it would suit his bow-tie and patrician air.....
