Adventures with a brush! in The odd entries from life …….

All ready it is half term and we have a week off, of the five classes I’ve missed two, the first I missed as I was away in Trearddur Bay on Anglesey, as fore the class of the 20th of October I was not feeling well.

My first class subject was a storm over water, I wasn’t very happy with it, yet Judi found something positive to say, it had some design and a good use of colour, and yes I can see what she means, so I looked at it with two view points; what I did and what I intended but didn’t get there!

The srcond class which was really class three, the subject was another seascape, I think I got near to my intent but it was poorly realized; yet it was popped on the draw unit where I can see it at home.

October 13, off ill.

The last class before the brake, we were given a river scene to paint! At the end of the class Judi comments on our efforts at art, I was quite surprised when she started with my painting ‘I was rather worried watching this in its early stage, the paint was going every where’ and Judi was spot on! Judi carried on ‘then as we carried on I looked again at Jamez work, and bit by bit he was pulling it to gether’

In the end Judi told me it was my best panting since I’ve been in her classes, there are still faults but it didn’t look earlier as if it would my best effort up to now!

Some how I doubt Timothy Spall will not have to struggle for two years to learn my technique, to make a two and a half hour film about my adventures with a brush …..

Note. I am waiting to see the up and coming film ‘Mr Turner’ directed by Mike Leigh and staring Timothy Spall as the painter J. M. W. Turner.

Timothy Spall is our greatest character actor, and as worked with Mike Leigh several times, Mike Leigh has said Timothy Spall is my type of actor; stout and short! A build they both share!
