Painting hard and thinking ahead.

I have been so busy this past year not only teaching my students at my studio in Hythe, as well as all my many workshops, I have been concentrating upon my new book.  The new title from Search Press  is to be called   "Painting  Rivers Lakes and Streams" It has been a long road, and then end is not yet in sight. Yet I have to add my deadlines most certainly is.
I have been about 24 paintings for the new title, so it has left me a little short of time to complete new works, new wildlife paintings to offer the market. I will make up for this fact in 2015.

It follows on from my last book " Learn to paint Dogs and Puppies"

OK OK I am showing you the Italian version that came out during 2013.

I still have so much to complete upon the new title and really hope that I get it in before the deadline. I know my wife Catherine along with other good friends are pushing me rather hard, not to mention my editor.

Sure it will all work out.

Back after a long absence !!

Its been a long time for sure

I have to say that my absence from Blogger and this blog was a decision that I have come to realise was in hindsight the wrong one to have taken.
So now I am revamping this blog and will stay on this blogging platform from now on. Over the coming weeks as time allows I shall be tweeting and adding content to this blog. I hope that it will have a greater connection and link with my own website at www.paulappsfineart.com .
