Painting in progress

Nearly - I say nearly, as you never know until it's all dry. I have looked at the watercolour through a mirror, the so called classic test where you can see things wrong and yes, I did spot one part which needed a tweak. It's a scene of race horses at a gallop coming head on and meant to be an impression of speed and power, and not an accurate anatomical image. Therefore there are lots of areas where detail is left out. Some horse purists have a go when they see this sort of thing, but I sell 'em so what's the problem?

It's like when I do my steam train paintings, some of the buggers try and count the rivets on the boiler! I ask you?

I had a visit from the district nurse this morning and was impressed. He was early, pleasant and helpful ( about male incontinence products which I need for two weeks). He is ordering some extra bits and pieces for me. I wouldn't have minded if the nurse had been female, I don't have hangups about that sort of thing, I have been seen naked in front of very large groups of people in my time, part of an act you understand. Tell you about it one day, the hidden broom figures.
