There is lots to do with Cambridge Open Studios looming.

Shown here is one of my new, as yet unfinished, paintings that will be part of the Silvanite Trees series.

These oil paintings are made of lots of layers and take a time to paint as each layer has to dry before I can add the next. I love doing the detail using my tiny brushes. Yet to be added is another layer of gold branches, more leaves and some pink flowers will cover the tree.

I shall give it a temporary varnish before framing the painting for July.
