I have just finished this painting between doing the cartoon illustrations for Julie's book. A cheeky little number, don't you think! It is an oil on canvas 14"x18", and is one of the offerings for the Bath Art For Life Exhibition coming up in July (16th -19th, Queen's Square,) along with the completed seascape. I have yet to start the Bradford town bridge one yet so I had best get a wriggle on and stop watching Wimbledon surreptitiously on the laptop at work. Oh yes! I'm sure the eagle-eyed among you have already spotted that in the background- isn't work great? Ha! We even have a punnet of strawberries down here at the gallery to top off the hedonism. I would offer them around but I just know they won't last much longer than the time it takes to get the lid open!
Hope you like the painting and it's gentleness. I am pleased with it and especially like the light captured. Enjoy!

You have described this picture perfectly, Shreen. There is a gentleness and the lighting is beautiful. Clever girl. We love it. Look forward to seeing the town painting next, not to mention more illustrations. No pressure!!!! Love Mems and Peps xxxxx
Thank you Mems and Peps! I've just got time reply before I must start the next!! I'm going to invest in supersonic brushes at this rate! Thanks be for quick drying oil paints! XXX
This painting is really amazing. I wish I could paint but I am still in the drawing/sketching/digital art area and can't really get what I want out of paint.
You are very talented and I love your illustrations also. I found you thanks to BlogUpp.
Welcome Daniel, and thank you very kindly for your comments. I only paint 'cos I can't do what you do! I checked your blog- very cool! (Good luck with your goals btw!)
Hoorah for BlogUpp!! :o)
I love seeing the contrast between a painting like this and your book illustrations. So different but both so well done!
Hi Seth, and thanks for your comments.
I think diversity must be my middle name- people coming into the gallery never believe it is just one person!!! :o)
