Happy Easter to all Blog readers!

Wishing all blog readers a Happy Easter. Here in Ireland we are enjoying very nice weather and I have been painting outdoors, although not from life. I was working from a photo for the above. This is an undercoat stage, just finished more or less, so I will be progressing on to the next refinement layer once this has dried a bit. For now, the above is a good start on this image which is quite large, 24" x 20". Getting the feeling of light right in the undercoat is really what I wanted to achieve for now, before moving on. Anyway, I may take a short break from painting daily over the next days, so check back soon to see more. Jim
