G'day funky Gibbons

And it was a good day too wasn't it. Defenately positively baking it'was .

I fact...it still is

Not been painting much the last few days I'm afraid. Been scooting all about the country doing a bit of this and a bit of that.

But...I did get to a'paintin today and finished this little number -



A bit larger than my usual at 24'' by 18''.

Let me know if ya think there anything need a'tweekin.

Oo...Oo...Oo...

ps. No! I don't know what they're looking at either.

Hi Chalky - i like it - love the way there' noth looking slightly hesitantly towards the left as if their almost afraid of swhat they see. Can't think of anything that needs adjusting - all loooks fine to me. But what is that bit on the wall behind them, top left the curved red part? I can't work it out. prob something obvious

I think it's the Bed.
Nice painting where do you get your images from?

Love it, wonderful expression on the little girls face. Of course i think the dog should have been a pug ....but I am biased
Great work as ever Chalky!

Morning folks

Thanks for your nice comments.

That red bit behind is actually bags. I was in 2 minds as to bring it into the pic, but decided to leave it a bit mysterious nondiscript.
Perhaps not the way to go?

Excuse the pic of me looking a bit harsh.

Paint on

This is cool. Your work has a lot of characteristics which asks questions about why thery're in there, I like that. Not a big fan of this type of work but certainly appreciate it for the time and effort and the surroundings it would match. Would love to know where your ideas and inspiration comes from though as all your work is completely different from one another. Good stuff mate.

Thanks Fab,

Yeah, I like to mix it up a bit and not stick to one subject I guess.

As for inpiration, I get it from all sort really. I just keep changing my ideas about what to paint. If I've just done a portrait I'll do a landscape or whatever. Then maybe a pet portrait or something.

Atmospheric pics get me. I like a bit of mystery in a painting. A bit of sadness too sometimes.

Cheers

Excellent painting Chalky, great character, I'm like you I like to mix it up as well.
