Lovely Derek very action packed and some very nice characters in it it looks a very pleasing painting to me.

Well done Derek - full of interest - must look up hash house harriers - I've had a sheltered upbringing

I like this Derek. Both the background and the figures work. Well done.

Superb Derek who needs traditional

This is excellent Derek, both in composition and action. What a tricky scene to take on, but well handled.

Thanks the dennis&#39;s, Michael, John. The HHH are drinkers with a running problem all over the world and I am one of them. Google www.worthyh3.co.uk and you might see me.<br />The client did request a local feature and the HHH as a gift for her husband. I will probably do another 2 before I give her the choice.

So nice paintings can be done with credit cards, not just payments ;) Good try, Derek!

Sorry - and Alan. <br /><br />Cheer Ivan. I aim to try another tomorrow and try to offer 3 at least.

Derek I can&#39;t get this standard of work with a brush, never mind a credit card. Excellent!

This is excellent Derek, full of action and life! You are so good with your credit card!

Like it a lot Derek. Strong composition, shapes and figures.

Great colours which always appeals to me, I also like your figures Derek.

Cheers Satu, Fiona, Louise and Carole. It took some more thinking about and still no prep sketches, but I did cut out the figures and used them as stencils with the card. Must admit took more time than usual but still over in the morning.

Action packed painting - lots to look at and enjoy.

Thanks Thea, well into my 2nd version for the client to choose from.

Excellent work Derek

I&#39;ll look out for the others. Really like this though.

Thanks Dermot and Gudrun

Excellent piece, Derek. The figures and their movement are so well depicted.

Thanks Seok, I wanted it loose.

This the 1st attempt at a commission in various formats showing Winchester cathedral and a group of hash house harriers, on the inner close. It is about A4 in size and worked only with credit cards as she knows I can't work trad painting these days.

About the Artist
Derek Snowdon

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.
