Mr P in his Fair Isle Pulley

Detail of a larger painting I am working on now – set in Pett in Sussex. When completed, Mr Pig will be proudly wearing the jumper he has knitted.

Finished him, and I am still recovering from a long but enjoyable day of painting Fairisle. It offered a great opportunity for heavy textures and human marks woven into the pattern.

I Love this frame, and I painted Mr P to work with it and have to decide on the colour. I am currently leaning toward red oxide.  Although it looks great in Coca-Cola red and electric blue surprisingly.

Hhhhmmm……
