Merry Christmas!

Hello Colin ,

I spoke to Moira on Thursday morning and she mentioned you. I explained I am in the middle of getting to grips with some new programs , one of which is a mail card program. As you can see I haven't progressed very far! Time is running out so I am resorting to email instead.

Hopefully next year I shall keep in touch better and use a proper card to update people about my work. I am hoping to balance a bit of social life with my paintings which I am selling for IRCC Ukraine Fund. I shall be applying to join the RGAC again and will try my best to get down more often.

Meanwhile Susan & I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year for 2023.

The painting is an original titled "Wastwater Late Spring", acrylic on 20in x 16in canvas 2022

Kindest Regards

Please feel free to circulate it if you wish. There may still be a few at RGAC that remember me.
Alan & Susan

p.s. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but an email I received "from you" a few days ago had some dodgy looking text & link which suggests your email may have been hacked. I thought you would want to know.

"Spanish Harbour Sunset", oil on canvas, 2014

The blog seems to have been overhauled so I shall continue to post on it for the moment but still retaining Facebook as the main outlet for my work & thoughts.

This post is another from the vaults called "Spanish Harbour Sunset #2", oil on canvas, 2014. It was an attempt to catch the colours of a peaceful harbour at sunset. I personally find the colours very soothing and created it in a semi abstract manner which I think suited the subject.




I have other works on my Etsy UK shop.

MAIN BLOG Now RELOCATED to Facebook

 There have been some technical problems with this blogsite so to be on the safe side the main content of this blog has been relocated to Facebook . There has also been a doubt as to whether Blogger will go the way of Google Plus and be terminated at relatively short notice as was the case with thousands of Google Plus communities.


Also it has proved difficult to be able to post a working link from other social media platforms to this blog.


However out of loyalty to Blogger I shall continue to post here periodically pending such an occurence. I have also left all the historic blog content of Curly Bob's adventures available for as long as this works.

Meanwhile to celebrate the opening of my remodelled Etsy UK site here is "Ferme Provencale", an oil on canvas from 2014
