A tiny little friend of mine is doing a school project for Geography and she pulled Iceland out of the hat. The children are encouraged to get their whole family involved so I painted her one of GS’s maritime works. It’s painted on a postcard and I will put her name and address on the back and post to her on Monday.

As you can see i have gone for a slightly wild-eyed version of his painting and struggled with the facial expressions. But I enjoyed doing it and got so wrapped up in my research into the Gunnmeister yesterday, I do believe I forgot to blip. So much for new year’s resolutions. Tsk

Extra shows my kitchen table studio and you guys get to see the tidied up sanitised version. Hah!
