Beautiful work. Daily painting looks like such a challenge to me. I am to slow. Keep it up. looks Great.
Hello James,
well it looks like that I always need around 3 hours ( + planing the composition, which sometimes is long, sometimes not) Even when I think it will be shorter, I finally need 3 hours. ( Except the seagull that required 6 or 7 hours maybe...)
Thanks for your support, I appreciate!
Encore une autre fois, je suis surprise de savoir que tu ne travail qu'environg trois heurs en chaque peinture...! C'est ta maitrise! (Tu as une autre fan, tu vois?)
