I've eventually got round to watching Part 2 of the Free Oil Painting Course video. I must say, it's taught me a great deal and, come at just the right time before I set forth on my paintings.
The recent picture I took at Chester Zoo is now being looked at in a whole new light

Nolan's advice of creating a painting based on a movie is fabulous. I knew something was amiss in my desire for art creation and photography and this is it.

Thank you Nolan. I'm off back over to continue watching it. I'm about half way through.
