Nicely done indeed.

Thank you, Chris. I do get tempted towards paintings that might amuse or suggest a story beyond the canvas.

He has a look of determination but also the stance of a boule player. Well done

Thanks, Christine. I suspect he barged in and told the young players “No, this is how it’s done”!

Demon Boule Player or Competitive Grandfather! Acrylic 25 x 20 cm. Continuing by plain background paintings but with some humour this time.
