Thank you those of you that took the time to make the switch between pages.

SO WHEN DO YOU STOP

When looking around on dev art I see many great pieces that have been over worked and would have been even better if the artist had stopped sooner. One of the most difficult things that I try to teach my students is when to stop. They sometimes spoil a great piece by over working. It takes time to learn that less is often more.
What I do is when I think a piece is finished I put it aside for a few days then get it out and can look at it with a fresh pair of eyes.
What do you do to help you know when a painting is finished. Do you suffer from over working your masterpieces.

COMING SOON

I have been working on several image manipulations that I hope to put up soon and have been encouraged by the responce to the few that I have already done. So watch this space.

I also hope to be able to find the time to get out to take some fresh images of the Fens in the next few weeks, These will hopefully show the unique landscape of the East Anglian fens.

Thanks to those of you that have supported me so far and those that have not,,,,, Why Not? :-}
