Some progress views at Easter time

On the table easel this sunny Easter Sunday: sunbeams, synthetic hair, a Hans Holbein postcard (Jane Seymour/Queen of England, 1513-1537) and a further progress view of my current painting, Strait-laced, acrylic on canvas, diptych, 55.5 x 22.5 cm.

Unfortunately my studio chair is out of action, so work has temporarily ground to a halt. (See below).

Directly following is an overview of other works in progress, snapped in the lead up to Easter. Image on postcard: Jan van Eyck, Portrait of a Man (Self-Portrait?) 1433. All works are fairly near completion, if Alice can stay off my chair for long enough. Oh, well, what do I care? Do your worst, Alice - within the hour we’ll be gone. We’re heading to our friend Tim Gresham’s house for hot cross buns, homemade by his partner, Gaye Britt, followed, no doubt, by a surfeit of chocolate eggs.

Happy Easter everyone!
