Hi Alan , glad to hear from you and I was wondering where you got to , your painting block is at an end if this beautiful piece is anything to go by as it's a delight to the eye ; often I find myself drawn to works like this over more finished pieces by artists as they have a beautiful freshness and honesty about them . I suffered the dreadful block earlier this year and it's most frustrating as it drains ones confidence and for me doubts start to creep in , normally I take a complete break from painting and that seems to get me up and running again after a week or so , we are a strange lot us artists :) Have a lovely break Alan and I look forward to seeing more beauties like this .

Not been painting much of late and apologise for my lack of comments, made a rapid exit to my Casa in Spain a few weeks ago to try and get my inspiration back. This was a rapido oil sketch done yesterday sitting at the furthest edge of my garden, Mount Montgo is in the background. Poor internet reception here but will try and post a few more.
