Landscape in oils on canvas.

Liquin. Prussian blue, paynes grey, burnt sienna, vandyke brown, lemon yellow, white.

I'd planned to write today. Yesterday, I mentally prepared myself to have a long 7-8 hour writing session on my new novel.

So, naturally, I painted this instead...

The essential satire of the summer.

Oh, here, have a picture of Valetta in Malta, you deserve it.

If we can get 3 other religions to find people do to the M, the C, and the A, we might just get through these turbulent times without nuclearing ourselves to extinction.

I'm happy.
Are you happy?
We're all happy.
Everyone's happy.
Be happy.
Happy, happy, happy.
Happy Christmas.
Pass me my happy shooty killy gun of happy.

I want to be there when they get down to the last After Eight mint.

Recently viewed this Caravaggio in Valetta. Astonishing.

Palette knife, liquin, oils, about 2 hours. Wet on wet.

This is such an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. It won't win awards, but it'll give you joy. Give it a go.

My first landscape only using a palette knife. I love how the mountain turned out. It looks much better on the canvas.
