 Been away for quite sometime but yes and a big yes I am still painting !!. Must admit I have not sold for a year or so maybe longer but for some reason 0 sales,

I did sell quite a lot on ArtGallery.co.uk but unbeknown to me everything seems to have gone really quiet there, I did add some new paintings there but before they go live they go through what they call assessment and shows as pending, this used to take a day top side so after my work was pending for a few days I gave up on them . I did google this and found many more artists having the same sort of problem.

Also been using Etsy , had a shop there for 2 years but refused to give free postage to the USA from the UK so my listings never show up on any of the painting pages so how the heck am I going to sell! . Well Ebay of all places never fails to get traffic to one's work , Ebay was the first ever place I sold a painting and is OK if you don't expect to make a fortune you can turn out quite a some if you stick at it, I remember after a month or so on Ebay my paypal account looked quite healthy .

Looks like Ebay then ............I will let you know how it goes in a few weeks.

For now and as they said on Blue Peter when I was a lad........here's on I did earlier ..






Don't know where it is I just made it up as I went along
Whit nothing to go on I don't think it turned out to bad.

Lock 27e.............Again

Painted this lock before but just wanted to paint it again for something to do and also to try painting a bit more on the loose side of art.



Not sure if I do loose 😆. On reflection, I should have used more / different colours in with the greens but I must have been feeling lazy .

But fun doing it all the same.

This one below is the original


Oh, I did change this one quite a bit on the far bank ( right side of painting ) which in real life it is not really like this but more like the first one above .

Thanks for looking
Colin..

Posset Bridge Marple Redone

The painting of Posset Bridge on the Marple canal I painted earlier in the year just had to be redone, I used the original painting as a under painting and worked my magic.........just like that.....😁😁

                                         
The original..........



Same painting after the re-work











Promise.........It is the same painting.

Just goes to show what can be done with your old paintings that just did not work for you at the time 👍
