I can’t believe Piccolino Cafe Grande on Princess Street is still available. It really needs to be seen in the flesh, I was so pleased with how this painting turned out. Now on show Alex Reuben gallery on princess street.

I have reworked this one slightly. If you look at my previous post I thought it needed more work and so did some of you guys. I was really conscious not to overwork it as this new series is all about stopping at the right time or when you feel it or like it.

Chatted to some lovely people in York while painting here on High Petersgate….

Painting on a red ground can really harmonise the painting if you leave flicks of colour coming through your finished piece. Try it and see….

I was painting this and a lady stopped to say that’s lovely. I said it’s getting there, to which she replied I like it as it is. Yes!!! I shall leave it then
