Brendon and I finally blew it last week. I also started painting the same image on canvas at home last week. Here are a few different views of the finished glass piece and the canvas with just the underpainting (complementary colours). The drawing is from one of the development days I attended when I worked at The Learning Connexion.  I ...

Here are the Great Gates of Kiev on a new canvas. Quite a bit more work to do but this shows the general idea. I hope to paint a few more of the Mussorgsky series on canvas. Below is the original watercolour sketch, the underpainting (complementary colours) and the same work on glass.  ...

Brendon Sole assisted me and the blowing went very well considering we are both just getting back to blowing after a three month break. We will blow the other two over the next few weeks. ...

My technique has evolved as a result of the recent series I have completed on glass. I hope the next canvas painting I do will be the first of the same Pictures at an Exhibition series. I am working on the patio and hope to have the front closed in with blinds in the next month. It is getting a bit cold some days as we slide into winter. ...

I have brought home my paints and easel and unwrapped a painting of a crazy drawing of a giant balloon village. This was started over 7 years ago, before I bought the glass studio. It looks a bit weird at the moment because I was painting this over another painting. Great to be using the oil paints again. ...

I might even find some canvas at the studio and get my oil paints out. I am keen to start working on some of the Pictures at an Exhibition series in a different media. Once New Zealand moves to Covid-19 level-2 we will start cleaning and repairing the recuperator. I am pretty sure this has a air leak. We will need to roll the furnace out of the ...
