Who needs a paint brush (or cash!) This is impressive Derek, love the business of it and the suggested buildings, cars, bus and figures. Excellent!

Thanks Christine. This wasa originally going to be a careful oil, but as I am really into acrylics I did this after lunch. My wife likes it, but she does like London scenes especially with the buses in.

Love it Derek. It looks like it had to emerge. Agree excellent

I really like this one Derek, you've caught that busy Oxford Street feel. There's a lot of movement in those figures. Clever use of the cards!

Ah Derek this is what its all about its a nice piece of work mate . I love the credit card it brings a lovely loose feel to your work , i know you love your street scenes and this looks like a Great way forward for you.i look forward to seeing you develop it further . You nailed it.

Thanks Louise and dennis. My wife loves this sort of scene and as it's the first London one and she likes it, I might have to think about framing it. Seriously though is this way of expressing myself frowned on or seen as cheating? With the way my hands and fingers are these days it's a good way of me interpretating stuff.

Derek its not a question of cheating there are no rules. I don't care how you do it its either a.good or its not , and this is good its no different really to pallet knife work . Great stuff mate .

Thanks dennis. Yes rules are there to be broken and I do that many times in other stuff

Excellent Derek, really effective work. Hope to see more of your credit card work ;o) Any way of expressing art is good this is brilliant!

This is smashing Derek, full of life and very expressive! One of my favourites of yours!

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
