Looks like I won’t be painting for a little while I seem to have strained something in my neck which is very uncomfortable! Had a bad nights sleep because of it and it’s going to be a tough day.

On the painting front, this week has not been the best – although I really enjoyed painting Snow in Venice on Monday, acrylic on 300 gsm paper. Venice is a special place to me, my fella and I went there many years ago on Valentines Day and I’d love to go back and paint it some more

I enriched the colours just a little when I painted this scene and was very reluctant when it come to putting the snow flakes on. Imagine putting a dab of white right in the middle of a building you just spent ages getting right! Scary, but once I’d put one on I couldn’t stop – it gathered a momentum all of it’s own and a snow storm resulted – luckily you can still see the picture beneath!

I’e put it on my site for sale as a limited edition print
