    sorry no. . It is a fine hand knitted lace in 2 ply yarn, incredibly effective and delicate.

    Haha! Thank you! I've just seen this on the computer screen rather than the phone...I'll have to take a better photo of the drawing. That's ^^^ a crappy, slightly out of focus phone pic :rolleyes:

    Here's a few of my paintings from over the past 14 years
    A memorial for a colleagues dog

    A nice photo I found, made a lovely picture

    GpxN2KQl.jpg

    My brother's in-laws had a family home in Manchester being sold, so they wanted something to remember the place by. There was nothing exceptional about the house, but I thought I could make a triptych that would embody the lives spent there. Worked out okay.

    A friend came back from Malta with a lovely spontaneous shot of their kids, thought it would make a cracking painting.

    And when I was dropping it off I noticed this on the wall, another painting of Malta I had done some ten years previously!

    I do see the limits of my painting, and hope to get better, we shall see.

    Your palette of colours is especially pleasant.

    My favourite is the Manchester house. Seems nostalgic. Not entirely sure why.

    I try to strongly limit the palette, making it all just fit, if you know what I mean.

    As for the house, that was the idea.

    I have done comissions of house portraits before, and here tried something a little different, to try and capture not just an image or representation of the house but also those aspects that good memories are made from, playing in the back garden, the lane-way to the back of the house, the arriving facing the front door, those things that turn it from a place to live in and into a home.
    The customer was pretty happy with it, if very reluctant to pay for it!
    I had to fight to get the few bob for it!

    For the same buyer as my last one, this is Trinity College, Dublin.
    Certainly, the last time I'm painting with this much grey!

    Bit nervous posting here for the first time as everyone is so good. I've just finished this piece. It took forever and had real life references for everyone. Lineart made digitally and coloured with copic markers.
