This painting was not quite dry, the flash is reflecting in the wet paint a little but you can still see whats going on, been there ! seen it, done it, hope to do it again !
I find it quite difficult to paint highlighted skin tones from out of the darkness, I usually paint very quickly but this painting slowed me down a little, I will try some more !

I wanted to paint a typical labrador, I have owned a lab myself and my pal "Mick" is on to his fifth, one thing is for sure, they all loved BIG sticks.
This is a painting of local people shooting out on the feilds of Northumberland, I have painted this scene many times, I do not "shoot" myself, I like the calmness In the painting, the people and dogs all change each time I paint it but it always has the same sort of atmosphere.
My paintings are completed using oil on canvas, i have been painting for a living for 35 years.
