We have a new puppy , he's a "Jackihuahua" ( Jack Russell Cross Chihuahua ) , there's more Jack Russell in him than Chihuahua i would say as theres a lot of biting and shaking going on , he has no fear, we were concerned about him falling of the settee but he just launches of and lands head first on the wooden floor quite happily, he runs around in circles as fast as he can falling over his own feet at the same time , so funny!, We have called him "Alfie" after my friends Parrot !! . We have spent the last few days playing Scalextrics, pool and Air hockey with Jack , enjoying the break , i hope you are too ,Happy New Year .
Hi Keith, i bought one of your originals a few weeks ago "thats what friends are for" I recently had twins, boy and girl funnily enough.
the painting resonated as the relationship want the to have with each other, so thank you. It has also come home a bit as i live in Wylam... so created and living on the Tyne...
Happy New Year to you too, your puppy sounds like he's going to be entertaining you for a long while with his antics, must fit in perfectly with the family! Love the paintings you posted all winners as usual.
My paintings are completed using oil on board, linen or cotton canvas, I paint simple observations of people And city street scenes, I returned to painting full time in 2007 after a long break from the almost obsessional painting routine I had fallen into, I have a fresh new outlook and a different approach to my work now, my intension is simply to paint on and enjoy, I have exhibited throughout Northumberland, in London and in the USA.
my paintings are published by Washington Green Fine Art, please contact them for Original paintings and Limited edition prints. This blog will be updated with new work and Exhibition information every now and again. Thanks for stopping by.
Please Note : In the past most of my ORIGINAL oil paintings have been sold without being varnished , this is because oil paint takes months even years to dry properly and they should not be varnished until properly dry, i do not like the gloss finish aquired when using retouching varnish, retouching varnish can be applied to newly painted works ! but as i say i dont like the finish so i have recently made up my own matt varnish mix which is now applied to all new works before they are sold. Any one who reads this and is in doubt as to whether or not there painting has been varnished should simply look on the back of the painting as i indicate this information there. It is important (should the painting not already be varnished) that you varnish it approx six months after your purchase ( you can buy small bottles matt or gloss picture varnish from your local art materials shop ) paintings that have a heavy thick layer of oil paint should not be treated until well over a year has gone by, you can apply Varnish yourself while the painting is still in its frame just take care not to hit the frame but coat right up to the edges
Use a CLEAN soft brush ( flat sable 1" is recomended ) , you can apply matt or gloss varnish, I prefer a matt finish and just one coat quickly applied and not to thick will do the trick.
This will help to keep the painting clean as house dust and the effects of sunlight may eventually discolor the painting, it brings out the true colour and makes it easyer to give the painting a light clean with a soft cloth or brush now and again just to remove the dust!! ...... Keith
