One day, you'll need to give this a go, it is FUN!<br />CBeth- The exhibition is in November and I will post images by then. It's a pity you are not in Bath, some of the completed paintings were framed and exhibited at the Octagon, venue of the Bath Prize. Lots of people got really hooked and interested!adebanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832505675979297771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549245502102517403.post-53239145251464521902010-09-28T15:45:02.745+01:002010-09-28T15:45:02.745+01:00I've been following these marathons with great...I've been following these marathons with great interest and admiration!

This statement of yours is the 1st I've understood why any one really would like to paint the same place over and over outdoors. I'm not a plein air painter but I do admire the work of others who are, but never fully understood their desire until now. Thx! Great paintings as always!Victoria on Okinawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346904466487742164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549245502102517403.post-65881599665767676172010-09-28T14:01:28.010+01:002010-09-28T14:01:28.010+01:00In a single day I do from 4-9.

It takes from 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on the complexity of the piece or whether I'm just going for atmosphere, lighting or a more indepth oil sketch of a place.adebanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832505675979297771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549245502102517403.post-34822486595088036432010-09-28T13:36:03.435+01:002010-09-28T13:36:03.435+01:00Wow you have been busy!

How many do you do in a single day? I know there are lots of variables, I wonder if all this painting has speeded up your ability to capture a scene on canvas more quickly.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.com
