January paintings hanging on the studio wall drying, oil paint takes time to settle and become dry enough to put away into the storage racks. Photographing can be hazardous , care must be taken not to disturb the surface and spoil the painting. brushes can become clogged when I am working on several paintings at the same time and need a regular clean to keep clean colours. I have completed a number of frosty paintings of various sizes for January which is good I always find winter inspiring there is so much subtle colour in the hedgerows tress and landscape.
