We are nearly through the four hundred days that January seems to have. I made a short video of painting Christmas Robins as a Christmas card as we, like many people, decided not to post many cards this time. You can see the original studies below.

I’m looking forward to getting out to paint a bit more this year and enjoyed a freezing couple of hours at Penenden Heath with the Maidstone Art Society. I made two quick direct watercolour sketches and then was very pleased to go to the Bull to warm up with a coffee and conversation as we thawed out.

Painting in the studio this morning, some pieces in progress some needing finishing off. Oils one end of the table and watercolour the other.
