It is nice to have paintings around the place, sometimes I get to swap work with other artists which is a nice way of getting stuff, bartering works well for lots of things.<br /><br />It was interesting to see Mr Stanley III turning up at your place, it would be nice if he would come back as I'm sure he would have plenty of things to talk about.<br /><br />I've not had much time on the internet lately as we have a bit of spring weather here so I have been out fixing some of the winter damage.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574763566985129420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-32587941476665593672010-03-10T19:20:28.722+00:002010-03-10T19:20:28.722+00:00Oh, John.

I'll try and get some more paintings up as they come along. <br /><br />I did have another which popped out at the same time as I was doing these. <br /><br />Sometimes I like to take myself on and paint portraits or faces. I had a little Burne-Jones in a book and quickly sketched the face out roughly, then painted for about four hours, went back the next day and tidied it up for a couple of hours and it seemed done. Normally when I paint nothing happens at anywhere near this speed.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574763566985129420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-44912690288426651152010-03-09T10:23:49.222+00:002010-03-09T10:23:49.222+00:00Cheers Silverfish.

It certainly sounds nice in Manitoba, if I want a nice hot winter break I'll know where to head for! <br /><br />I made an igloo once many years ago, just out of compacted snow, it was a proper round domey one big enough for two people to get into and toasty as anything inside. Hope the ski-ing is going well there, downhill is the best direction I reckon, though I'm not an expert.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574763566985129420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-76461350615553296472010-03-08T05:18:16.357+00:002010-03-08T05:18:16.357+00:00Hey John, never mind the Silverfish, I felt cold j...Hey John, never mind the Silverfish, I felt cold just looking at them. Also I second Nina - more please.<br /><br />Ha! The freeloading public demands more!<br /><br />Otherwise I can see your dilemma with the second pic, but it's nothing too dreadful is it? I'd happily put it on my wall, ha ha. Otherwise, that first one... gee whiz, it's so good for so many reasons. I think I'll have to put it on my desktop and admire it for a while.nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-1736023574388121202010-03-07T11:03:53.864+00:002010-03-07T11:03:53.864+00:00So glad to hear that your studio will be warming u...So glad to hear that your studio will be warming up after that LONG COLD winter. I just simply can't imagine what it must be like surviving in such a horrid climate, what without even enough snow to build an Igloo,(Brrrrrrr).<br /><br />But enough of the sympathy stuff, I must be off to pick my crop of pineapples and mangoes before the sweltering heat of the day and<br />torrential monsoon rains start. <br /><br />Sorry to rub it in John but it really is just wonderful living in this tropical paradise we homeys like to call MANITOBA. <br /><br />Oh and by the the by, do Yuh have any really great recipes for Pina Colatas, Yuh know the ones with the little umbrellas and lots of crushed ice? I hear that they are so refreshing after a long hard day of catching some rays on the beach.the Silverfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019227476380575638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-47114128759823961172010-03-06T15:22:32.700+00:002010-03-06T15:22:32.700+00:00Hi Skye and thanks.

It's not something I have tried a lot before though my older work did attempt it in a more abstract way. Cheers for now and many thanks.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574763566985129420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-81439008905425683202010-03-06T15:19:59.790+00:002010-03-06T15:19:59.790+00:00Cheers Nina and thank you very much.

I will try to put up more paintings as they happen as I am painting more again now, it usually takes me along time to finish paintings though so it is slow going. <br /><br />I should organise an online gallery of my work somewhere and then I could link it on the front. I have plenty of old work, some of which is scattered through the pages of my blog but it would be nice to round them all up.<br /><br />Cheers for now and thanks again.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574763566985129420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-66909255160807386782010-03-05T12:51:42.817+00:002010-03-05T12:51:42.817+00:00They look wonderful John!They look wonderful John!Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198283033410908267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25250212.post-1307631496605382062010-03-05T04:55:22.867+00:002010-03-05T04:55:22.867+00:00John, keep showing your paintings.

I have one of those laptop screens that when you bend it back slightly, it lightens the image, so I see what you are saying.<br />But man, you got the touch alright. I would love to see more. And if these are the only ones you want to show for now, okay, they both will stand the test of time and memory.<br />Thanks.
