Hi Peter, Thanks so much. I found myself hooked on your blog. I love what you do and have already spent way too much time scrolling through your wonderful blog..I'm going back as soon as I'm finished typing this. I used to be a staff illustrator before I started oil painting for galleries and following your journey on your blog brought back fond memories for me. Really rewarding work. Thank you my friend, All the best. Todd
Hi!...again Todd! Had a few spare moments this morning... so I scrolled your site...like reading a morning newspaper! I come away much more uplifted by your "news"!
I love "Dirty Oar"... you've caught the moment and the ambience and solitude of the ritual of "early rising". Your tonal control is exquisite in this piece.
Bruce, Great to hear from you my friend, a thousand thank you's for the kind words, sincerely. This was such a fun painting to do, I am seriously considering a much larger version with some minor adjustments to try a few different things in there. i hope you are well. Much happy painting to you, al the best, Todd
