I thought Curly Bob was losing it when he suggested a trip to Blackpool last week. Yes it was a dry sunny day but the weather was best described as "bracing" which in plain english means absolutely freezing!
Bob is far too professional to go on a beach himself especially when the sand is wet and there loads of dogs about. Bob's fame hasn't yet reached into the canine world and he might easily be mistaken for a chew!
In any case it turned out that the main reason for the road trip was to visit Granthams(Art Discount) who have a shop near Blackpool Tower. They sell a vast range of art materials and supplies for all types of artist. They were helpfulness itself and we shall certainly be going back when the need arises. There aren't many art supplies shops within reach of Manchester any more. Especially where you can actually pick things up and assess them.
When we got home and thawed out we agreed to post another item from the archive. It is called
"Arabian Desert", oil on canvas, 2013, 60cm x 50cm, (sold)
