Dark Days!

Howdy folks,

Just a quick update, as a general post, on the state of play.

Work is progressing on my house, but still has someway to go. Besides the banging, drilling, and constant noise of the work the main effect on 'Marching in Colour' has been the lack of natural daylight with which to paint by.

At the mo, I have two desktop lamps rigged with 'daylight' bulbs, and while these are great, they are no substitute for the real thing.

Currently I estimate I am around TWO weeks behind schedule.

I apologise to those whose orders I am currently working on and to those who are in the waiting. Rest assured your models are safe and sound, it just maybe a little longer until I am able to get them finished and back to you. We are not talking months, just two/three weeks delay. For this I am genuinely sorry!

Until this back log is cleared I cant give any precise times for new commissions. While I never want to turn work away, I wont be taking on any new commissions for the immediate future. Please feel free to still email me with if you are looking for a painter, but I will not be able to offer my services for a month or so yet.

thanks all

Chris
