It is funny / strange how things happen.
A few days ago i was stuck as to what to paint after i finished painting Newton Creek, looking through books & magazines to get ideas for the next painting my mind was totally blank .
After a day or so this scene just came into my head so i quickly made a pencil sketch on paper just so i could look back when i start.
The next day i started the painting but then i thought this is a bit unusual , everything was going just right all the way through the painting and i had this strange feeling that someone was behind me all the time i was working this .
The strange thing is it is not my usual style !! .
Maybe a artist of the past came to paint just one more time.
Until next time
