Aa studio visitor by Matthew Sewell

Dislike spiders but like this!

That's a whopper Matthew

Blimey....you could throw a saddle on that. He will make short work of any other bugs that may be lurking in your studio Matthew. Despite the subject....I like spiders, just not in the same county as myself....it’s a smashing painting.

Love the painting but couldn't look at it for long! Yet I'd never kill a spider - one had crawled into my painting shirt recently, saw something moving on my shoulder out of the corner of my eye. Screamed! Yes, pathetic, I know. He scuttled off into the bathroom.

This is great, I have a name for these large house spiders, I always call them Fred.
