Wow...your paintings are very calming. Love your nudes, particularly the small sketch on dimpled paper - lovely! Hope all's going well with the gallery. Thanks for popping by my page!

I have enjoyed doing the figures and have found a figures class just down the road from where I live which I am keen to join next year.

You're being shown in a gallery. Loved all your figures. I, too, especially like grey nude. Now stop using big words like "disintermediation" which I had to go look up. You could have just said you don't like using an intermediary! Show off! Congratulations! You’re being shown in a gallery. Loved all your figures. I, too, especially like grey nude.

Now stop using big words like “disintermediation” which I had to go look up. You could have just said you don’t like using an intermediary!

Show off!

I enjoyed doing these paintings. There are a few more figures lying half done in my shelf which I am keen to complete and get out to the gallery. Galleries are OK - it is good to be accepted. It is a good way to get work out there but it carries a massive cost. Negotiating rates for paintings is also nice and realistic. In the end I think it is also about the strength of the artists Brand. I am all for disintermediation though.

I have always been drawn to the one of the girl catching the wind with the cloth, but my favorite is "grey nude". The composition and movement of the pose draws me in. Nice work. Congratulations on being represented by a gallery. These are beautiful, Stephen. I have always been drawn to the one of the girl catching the wind with the cloth, but my favorite is “grey nude”.
