Thought some of you might be interested in seeing this, as you were so kind about the last one. My latest creation.....

Very nice, Tony. Is this a look from your own place in the UK, or strictly one of imagination?

Nice work! I had forgotten that you are not only a player, you are an artist as well.... Cool! If you had it made into a print, I would buy it! Image

Nice, Tony, I like the Blueburst curtains, too! Image

BTW, what medium do you use?

Stunning, Tony. A young musician's fancy.

Why not take this instrument down to the beach for a jam.

Interesting, even though you are a high gain man, the toasters are nice to paint, aren't they.

Another excellent work, Tony. I'd be interested to know roughly how long one of those paintings takes to complete, given your other work and gigs, etc.

Very nice Tony. You are far more talented than I could have ever imagined. I am suitably impressed.

Wow...thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it.
To answer some questions.....

Stan...it's all imagination unfortunately...I'd love a view like that. We can see the river Teign in the winter, but when the trees leaf up, it's gone.

Gary, I normally use acrylic paint. I occasionally use oils, but don't have the patience to let them dry. However, with summer coming on, I will switch to oils for a while, as acrylics are murder in hot weather!

Melissa, I have a large format giclee printer, but somehow never get around to producing prints. I have had several & ongoing run ins with major fine art publishers & I suppose that I am waiting for something to happen there. If it did though, only my commercial work would be published & paintings like this would be largly ignored.

Peter....you can't beat a toaster when it comes to visuals!

Howard, I suppose if I really went at it, it's about 3 days solid painting. But in reality, it is a weeks work, as you spend a lot of the time just looking at it, deciding colours, working out details & drinking wine.....Image (very important)

I really do appreciate all of your kind comments...thankyou so much.
