Making progress!

I’ve been really working hard on Essex Wood: August – and although it isn’t finished it’s getting there . . .

Working away in my studio this afternoon

I think another two or three good sessions will finish it – rather belatedly as it is well into September! I want to have it finished for Open Studios next weekend, even though it won’t be framed by then. Here are the progress shots so far!

I spent some time this afternoon taking down all the pictures – mostly etchings – which usually hang in my dining room. They will stack up in the spare bedroom while Open Studios is on. In their place I’ve been hanging up all my paintings – and they look good!! The dining room table is piled high with calendars, cards, mugs, postcards, bags, canvas prints, Christmas cards . . .

So excited for next weekend! But so much to do before it comes!! 🙂
