Thanks everyone.

I had great fun painting this. I love colour too.

I hope to develop a style from this.

I have just done a Matisse type painting at my life-class. Not everyones favourite style but again, fun to do.

I will photograph it and bring it here.

Mark,

Things feel much fresher now.

If I can inspire somebody then my day is complete.

Thanks Mark.

Here is my latest oil painting.

I found myself behind the model at my life class. The overall clothed image was boring but I saw an oportunity to produce a portrait but a little different. This is based upon Matisse's portrait of Derain in the fauvist style See his picture below.

Sorry that I couldn't turn image, problem with my editor
