Current W.i.Ps

'Ladies' and 'Morna' two canvasses I'm working on at the moment. Morna is a beautiful 89year old yacht built in Dickies of Tarbert, and I have had the pleasure of sailing on her a few times. On this occassion though, I was on my own boat, and able to take some shots of her. 'Ladies' has Master Frank, Morna and Granuaile, 3 boats that are a familiar sight in the Irish Sea/Northern Ireland.
I've been feeling a real need for vibrant colours at the moment, hence the deep colours used. I'm a big fan of Dorothy Bruce, a painter living in Scotland. The way she uses colour has been very inspirational to me.
Hopefully I'll get more done on these at the weekend, before I head back to college.

And on an exciting note, I sold a mug with the Hogwarts Castle doodle on it the other day! I always find it bizarre when pieces that took little or no thought or effort become firm favourites... Still, very happy about that.
