It's been a while since I completed a painting! Too many distractions like sitting in the sun reading. I was also privileged to spend a day with John Dyer http://www.johndyergallery.co.uk/ who came to school to work with the children. He was so inspiring and I don't think a workshop with the children would have been much different had it been for adults. It did make me want to have a go but it's so different to what I do that it was a bit of a struggle!! Hence the time since my last still life. The bottle went really well on this one but the shell was a lot harder.
