In Hungry

Well made it to Hungry and have advanced my technical reach by having a Tel number I can reach over the internet. So if you want to get hold of me, call +44 207 193 2052. Leave a message if I cannot answer and I will get to you in a matter of days or even hours. Still sorting a Hungarian mobile for texting purposes.

Mike and I out to dinner with friends shown in the picture below. This was sort of a leaving dinner.


Mike & I

Something Italian

This is my parents and friends of theirs Luigi and Pauline, who have been very helpful in translating for me at the doctors when I had an incident with my foot (as usual) and in finding an aluminium welder after Ryan Air crunched my racing wheelchair and refused to accept any responsability. This place had great pitza's.

Something a little different

I did this painting to use up the paints on my palet before I leave Italy. It's a little different to my usual style although has a hum about it. It is also quite big so the colours really jump out.

Hungry Warm-up

This is a picture I've been looking forward to painting since I was in Budapest in September 04. It was really fun to do and the photo below doesn't really capture the deep blue darkness in the shadows. It looks good in dim light.

Italy - need to learn Italian

My time in Italy is almost at an end. It has been great, very hot and that's what I wanted. This has really been a 5 week holiday although I have been painting. I have attached two here. This one was an exercise (70cm x 50cm Oil on cavas) and quite a fun one at that. It's not quite finished but I thought I would post it anyway while I'm here. I'll update it when it is done. I’ll be in the UK for a week and Hungry after that. Not sure where I am staying yet although I'm on the case.



Lady and Tulip (70cm x 50cm Oil on Canvas)

The painting below is the third portrait I have done and the first of someone I know. It is a portrait of my Mum (40cmx50cm Oil on Canvas). If you don't know her, she looks just like this. If you do, hopefully you recognise her.

I’m please with it because it captures a side of her that I’ve seen more often since her and Mike moved to Italy. She was on the balcony standing in the glow of a warm sunset.
