oo oo Black Betty, bam a lam

 Experimenting on my old friend a bit here: top one is a little one on board: playing with textures in gloopy paint (quite hard to see here tho); bottom one, which is quite big,I'm thinking about leaving bits of it quite loose and unfinished, perhaps simply adding some washes of tone/colour to the sketch outline.  The joy of oils is that if it doesn't work out I can simply keep going and paint over it.

Any chance of using a darker font for your words of wisdom? My ageing eyes have difficulty reading the pale blue

My pleasure (any excuse to mess around with the templates!)

Thanks - that is much better!
