A better resolution photo at last!

Finally, a chance to put up a few higher resolution pics!
The exhibition went excellently; I was left some beautiful comments in the Guest Book; many by people I've never heard of before (there's always a large collection of comments by students' family and friends). The come down is not getting to paint on that big a scale all the time now. I suppose I could, but it would drive me batty, and it's not a very realistic size, given my studio is a tiny space. So here I'm putting photos from the exhibition, the original reference picture and a painting I've completed since for a raffle prize at a sailing event. The winner was delighted with it, I'm happy to say. I also met a fantastic artist at that event - Alastair Houston - his watercolours are divine - a completely different style to my own, so delicate and refined; but with a real spirit to them.


(In order: Shadowfax and Snowmane, hung in the Higher Bridges Gallery, the original reference picture and Perfect Day, a raffle prize)

Not sure if I really have got a higher resolution image - but frankly, I've been 'futering' (a good Irish word) all evening with this thing, and I want my bed.)

Thanks for looking!
