I’m currently doing a series of musicians hands on their instruments (you may have seen ‘guitar man’ and ‘double ray’ in the gallery, and the piano one). Next up is a violinist.  Kate used to teach my husband how to play the violin. She agreed to be a model for my painting.  She bites her nails though…. Really bad!

A bit more done at the weekend. Difficult finding the time at the moment… plus the heat is not good for paint drying too fast! Ignore her face for the time being…. 🤣

Coming along beautifully - never mind paint drying, though; in this weather, all I can do is sit in a darkened room wearing a pair of pyjama bottoms.... but then, I'm just a little older than you...
