This is the second panel of the two which I did at the club tonight. To be honest, they actually look better "in the flesh" than they do on here.

MYSTIC MOUNTAIN
Went to the Art Club tonight and knocked out a couple of 8x6's to try and play catch-up. I really must try to paint more regularly. As with the others, I have made no real attempts to do anything worthwhile here - it's merely to get me started and used to painting with this new medium. Quick, carefree brushstrokes and careless aim. Just noticed how daft that lone tree looks. Ah well!

AFRICAN SUN
Well, I'm not doing very well at this am I? Eleven days between paintings isn't very productive and will certainly not teach me anything. Tonight I forced myself to go to the art-club and took out my palette-knife to see what horrors I could create. And here it is. After I finished mauling this 8x6 panel, I began work on another one.

Well, I said I'd do it, so here's the first pathetic attempt at oil painting. Boy, I really struggled to post this! I was gonna keep painting until I got something I wasn't ashamed of, but that's not the idea of this blog, so look and laugh.

Our Own Art-Club!
Each Friday we go to the local Art-Club in Horwich. It's a thriving club with a broad range of people of all ages and skill-levels. Apart from the regular painting sessions, we have many professional artists visiting us to demonstrate their skills and to run workshops.
But sometimes, it's nice when just a few friends get together mid-week too, and so here we are in Simon's "studio", benefitting from the skill and experience of his father, Brian Waddington. It looks a bit cramped in there, but we were just huddled together to fit in the photo frame :-)
And you can drink beer in this club! :-)
