Thank you everyone for taking an interest. Since I have recently retired from the day job- I can paint to my heart's content.
Now I have my new studio- I have the luxury of space!

Great work! I especially love the first one, it has a "in the moment" feeling to it. It inspires me

Thanks so much, Joe!
Thank you, Mattias! I am a fan of the "unposed" capture. It feels more natural.
