Not, you might think, a surprising or original thing for an artist to be doing. But it is a long time since such a proportion of each working week has been spent on a single painting.
'Meanwhile' is a word I use all too often here to draw attention to the projects that interest me and are still in progress, some since the sixties and early seventies. In addition there is almost always a portrait on the go, for portraiture, especially in leaner times, has been my financial life-support system.
I do not yet know what size it will be or how long this painting will take, nor do I have a title for it or can exactly say what it is about. I shall refer to it (in occasional progress reports) as 'my picture', the ever present 'meanwhile' of my current working life. Here is a detail. More to come.

Is it on more than one pieces of canvas? Is there some collage involved?
I think I see the head of a dragon. A happy dragon. ;)
Painting a picture is indeed a fine thing for an artist to be doing. The detail you have posted is rather tantalising, akin to glimpse of a stocking top.
i had no idea you had a thing about the word 'meanwhile'. funny, since that is the key word in the title of your daughter's blog.
lovely to catch up after a couple of weeks away.
