My wife has pointed out to me the photographs I post of my oil paintings do not convey the way it feels when she walks into my office and there is one right there in the middle of everything. So, here's a photo of that...
A photograph of my office with a just finished painting in it. It's an oil painting of Neil Codling from Suede. It's on a desktop easel and has a piece of kitchen paper with paint all over it, a tiny brush (I always use tiny brushes even on big paintings) and my palette.
