Scully Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Am busy creating work for the up and coming Borders Art Fair in Kelso next month. It is a seriously good art fair with around 100 professional artists and galleries displaying work. I really like this town and we look forward to staying there each year. We stay at Ednam House and have breakfast overlooking the Tweed. 👍 Anyhow, this is one of several acrylics I’ll be displaying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambam1962 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Very nice work, Scully. When you create a piece of work like this, do you use photos as a reference, or do you work from memory ? One of my regular walks, with the spaniels, is along a stone wall which is on the perimeter of the forestry, and very similar to this painting. Well done 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no nails left from sanding/keying the woodwork, I have used a box of poly-filler on the walls and woodwork filling all the blemishes then sanding, I have now started the painting, walls two coats and the woodwork will have the same, Christ, how can anyone do this full time?

Thank you. 🙂 It’s all in the prep’, which is why people loathe it! It can be a chore at times but once I’m painting and there’s some decent music on I just switch off. Zinsser Cover Stain negates the need for a lot of ‘keying’. Great paint. 👍 The artwork can be as much of a chore at times. People think it’s relaxing, and as a hobby it probably is, but as a profession it can be a grind at times. Unlike the decorating I can’t just switch off; there’s a lot of concentration involved. Some can’t understand why I do it if it’s not relaxing, but I’m driven to do it I suppose. Get quite restless if I’m kept from it for too long. 🤷♂️ The end result of course is immensely satisfying.
