Hermione ~ Steady as she goes
La Frigate de Libertie ‘Hermione‘ ~ steady progress, the creative process with this new painting, the hull has changed. The hull shape of this Hermione is now reasonably ship shape so I’ll press on with the background and begin detailing the frigate.
A nicely polished bottom?

Poldark Series raises the profile of Charlestown
Charlestown, Cornwall is in the news again. Co incidentally I sold another print of Charlestown last week to a gentleman booked to stay in the Habour Inn quite soon. The painting is an early example of my work, maybe I’ll have time to return to this favourite subject soon. I too have many happy memories of Charlestown from when I lived in Cornwall and later visiting from Plymouth with my family.
Last Monday the West Briton reported today the BBC One costume drama Poldark returned to its spiritual home 37 years after the first series was broadcast.
Wine Art sales
Paintings sold, see below, quiet satisfaction. Three of the newer ‘Picturesque Wine Villages of Bordeaux’ series of paintings have sold.
Of last year’s production I only have 3 left unsold.
The couple of tranquil Bommes in the commune of Sauternes and the vivant sketch ‘Dancing Vines’ made at Sauveterre de Guyenne in Entre Deux Mers.
Travel back in time, eat drink and relax well
Chez Niko: We have a very new very French venue Chez Niko, already favoured by artists, a good sign, in the 13 th century bastide village of Castelnau de Montmiral. Does good food, week day prices at week ends, wine and beer in a very atmospheric very SW France setting appeal?
