Oils 8" x 10"

Another in my Christmas market series. I'm really happy with the feel of light and movement, that time of day when the electric lights start to take over from the sun. I will probably seek out a fairground for further studies this year. And some of these will undoubtedly be a starting off point for larger studio paintings.

Home from home at Patchings

Before...

The sight that greeted us in a damp marquee this morning in Nottinghamshire!
And how we left it this afternoon...

After!

I do have a few final touches tomorrow morning such as a large rug for the floor, and photos from the Jubilee Pageant to stick up! We did our best with limited means! I will invest in some display stands if I do this again next year! :-)
Look above the paintings, we have fairy lights and then a row of little flags!

I even have my painting corner...

 and now I'd better go and get those final bits and pieces together ready for leaving the house at 7.30am....
