Be Thou My Vision

Yes, guilty as charged. No post for over 2 months. Although people have been using my Titian post as some kind of weird forum and I have to keep using comment moderation to reject their comments. I don't have the heart to delete the post to get rid of the problem as I like the image of Boy with a Pipe too much. So as promised to members of my family, here are photos of my paintings inspired by the last verse of the hymn Be Thou My Vision

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

I'm currently doing a project based on strong tonal contrasts (light and dark) on buildings/walls, but unfortunately, the sun didn't shine (well it did, but just behind the dense clouds!) this week so I'm having a few difficulties with getting a good composition. I've been messing around with etching on metal and perspex though which is fun and new for me. Other than that life alternates from being crazy out of control to being bored and not knowing what to do with myself. Well, adios my dear amigos for now. Hope your life is going sweetly and the sun is shining for you!
