Upside down

Drawing near to the finish.

Wow in the last month this picture has really taken shape. There are just 5 rows of text left  to paint. Then it's off to the framers. I have turned the image upside down to paint the bottom of the image. I like it this way too. What do you think?

The original photograph of the cross

This image was made at Ditchford lakes by resting a cross on the bank as shown.

This image shows the process I use to make my full colour text painting. At the bottom is the original photocopy and above the painting made from prayers and the covenant prayer from the Methodist Church I go to.

Progress with Cross painting

I am making great progress with my piece about baptism . The aim is to complete it so that the work can be entered into the 101st Town and County Art show for October! I still have 20 rows of colour text to go but it's great to have a deadline to work towards .
