Have been working on these two floor canvases for some time now.  Art Deco I is a 3 metre hall runner.  All done now except the final sealing and edging.

Art Deco II is also complete now except the final sealing and edging.  This one is 2 x 2 metres.  Love the clea...

Portrait of my Grandfather, Arnold Jack Caddy, is starting to take shape now.  About half way there.  Family resemblances are amazing, depending on the light and how far along I am, I see different siblings staring out at me.  Can be a little disconcerting at times...

After travelling for much of last year, all of me has finally landed!  A couple of portraits in progress, the little girl is the sister of Riley one I painted a few years ago.  It was his smile that had me captivated, with this little one it is her eyes!

Finished off three paintings that have been in progress for some months this week. Really glad to have finally completed them! Field of Dreams, Hanging Garden and Misspent Youth.

New Floor Cloth in progress, this one is on my new adjustable frame, stretched to its fullest 2mx2m. Prototype one is great for stretching the big ones but is a bit heavy to handle, lighter wood is in order I think.
