A few days in France and other stuff.




Its been along time since I posted on my blog but also quite an eventful time. I ve been filmed for BBC2 show called "Show me the Money" which is supposed to be aired on 28th of this month at 5.45pm. I hope I didnt embarrass myself too much and although i did not get selected for the Final Show it was quite enjoyable. I also had 3 of my paintings hung in the Royal society of British Painters Exhibition at the Mall Galleries and two in The Wapping Group Show at the same gallery.I have had a miserable time painting ..mainly because I havent been doing much. Ive had problems at work and the weather has been terrible so going to stay with my friend paul agin in the Cote D Azur was a very welcomed break. My friend Tony Dakin and I just had a long weekend there and although the weather wasnt great we managed to get a fair bit of work done, most of which Ive posted below (warts and all as usual) I was happy with 2 or 3 but there are a couple of real turds:-). Today it felt like Spring and the weather and atmosphere was glorious..alas no painting. Not long until the weekend so I just hope it stays like it! Thats it for now.

  2. If you post one more time

    "I haven't been posted, bla bla bla"

    again i am going to trow you off my blog-list.
    Everyone can see you make marvelous work when you do get to it, and your trying hard enough to do so, so stop complaining about your posting.

    I am a bit joking, but somewhere I do mean it, .. a little, ... bit, ... ty.

    Take care Karl, your doing fine!
