B I Sunday, a long haul

This lucky painting has had a chance to dry, for the oil colours to settle, so here is a post about understanding oil painting and a bit about Roald Dahl’s autobiography “Going Solo”. In turn that means I can return to the painting and make a few improvements to colours, atmosphere and composition, here are the results so far, the picture is almost but not quite complete
Oils first, I need good light to paint well…

The sun shone it’s shiniest best as we left Théhillac bound for une petite cité de caractère, Roche-Bernard. IMG_7807
As Michael drove their Volvo I noticed odd clouds to the South West over distant La Baule.
They reminded me of approaching sea fog. IMG_7805

Superyacht, royal, revolutionary

This picture is as close to seeing this splendid yacht as you are likely to ever get; I’ll explain. Prompted by and following an interesting post on another web site, I have thoroughly updated the page “Royal Yacht Britannia (1893)“. By the way I still have a very few signed, numbered copies left available from my web site.

Cette image est aussi proche de voir ce magnifique yacht que vous êtes susceptible d’obtenir jamais; Je vais t’expliquer. Poussé par la suite et un post intéressant sur un autre site web, je l’ai soigneusement mis à jour la page “Royal Yacht Britannia (1893)”. Par la façon dont il me reste très peu signés, exemplaires numérotés laissés disponibles à partir de mon site web.
